Our Compliance Expertise

What is DORA?

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (EU Regulation 2022/2554) is a mandatory regulation applicable to financial entities and critical ICT service providers operating in the EU.

DORA ensures organizations can:

Prevent ICT-related disruptions
Withstand cyber incidents
Respond and recover effectively
Continuously test operational resilience
Manage third-party ICT risks

DORA moves beyond traditional cybersecurity-it enforces operational resilience as a board-level responsibility.
