Your Partner for DORA Compliance

Introduction to the DORA Regulation

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a fundamental piece of legislation from the European Union designed to strengthen the operational resilience of entities in the financial sector through advanced ICT risk management. Aiming to harmonize operational resilience requirements for financial markets within the EU, DORA imposes rigorous measures for risk management, ICT incident reporting, and operational resilience testing.

Its importance extends beyond mere regulatory compliance; DORA is crucial to ensuring that the critical infrastructures of financial organizations can withstand and quickly recover from disruptions caused by cyber incidents or technological failures. Additionally, the regulation urges financial entities to implement robust ICT incident management and reporting processes, ensuring that all incidents are tracked, analyzed, and effectively mitigated.

Therefore, DORA aims to elevate security and resilience standards across the financial sector, protecting vital infrastructures from increasingly complex and interconnected risks, and ensuring greater financial stability within the EU.

Why DORA Compliance is Critical for Your Business

Details on how non-compliance can affect business operations and the possible sanctions, highlighting the importance of a proactive approach to compliance.

Non-compliance with the DORA regulation can negatively impact business operations in several ways:

1. Operational Disruptions

Without adequate ICT risk management and an effective plan for incident reporting and recovery, companies risk long operational disruptions. Incidents like cyber-attacks or technical failures can halt activities, causing significant financial losses and undermining customer trust.

2. Financial Penalties

Regulatory bodies can impose severe financial penalties on non-compliant companies. DORA allows regulators to fine ICT providers up to 1% of their average daily global revenue. Fines can be applied daily for up to six months until compliance is achieved.

3. Reputational Damage

Companies that fail to meet security and resilience standards risk compromising their reputation. Customer and investor trust can erode, causing long-term business losses.

4. Legal Liability

Non-compliance can expose companies to potential legal actions and compensation claims from customers and partners.

For these reasons, a proactive approach to compliance is essential. This means implementing comprehensive ICT risk management, operational resilience plans, and clear incident reporting, alongside maintaining accurate and up-to-date documentation. This approach ensures not only regulatory compliance but also the protection of business operations.
