The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a European Union (EU) regulation that requires financial entities to implement a range of measures to strengthen their information and communication technology (ICT) security. DORA's requirements include:

  • Risk management: Financial entities must establish comprehensive ICT risk management frameworks, including policies and procedures. They must also conduct continuous risk assessments, document cyberthreats, and document how to mitigate identified risks.
  • Testing: Financial entities must regularly test their ICT systems, including penetration testing and resiliency testing. They must also conduct digital operational resilience testing to assess their ability to handle ICT disruptions.
  • Incident reporting: Financial entities must report incidents to regulatory authorities.
  • Third-party risk management: Financial entities must oversee third-party service providers to ensure they meet DORA's resilience standards.
  • Contractual review: Financial entities must review and potentially amend contracts with technology service providers to ensure compliance with DORA.
  • Policies and procedures: Financial entities must update internal policies and procedures to meet DORA's standards.
  • Board-level awareness: Board members should be aware of ICT risks and receive training on them.
