DORA
The Digital Operational Resilience Act sets EU requirements for the financial sector to manage ICT risk and remain resilient to operational disruptions.
What DORA is, in plain terms
The Digital Operational Resilience Act is an EU regulation that creates a unified framework for how the financial sector manages information and communication technology (ICT) risk and stays resilient to operational disruption. It covers ICT risk management, incident reporting, digital resilience testing, and, distinctively, oversight of critical third-party ICT providers, with contractual safeguards for outsourced services.
Typical effort & timeline
As a regulation it applies directly across the EU. Programs typically focus on maturing ICT risk management, building resilience-testing capability, and tightening third-party contracts and oversight.
