Counting down the benefits of DORA

The digital landscape is changing for the financial sector

 
The Digital Operational Resilience Act comes into force in January 2025.
 
DORA is the new EU regulation that transforms how financial institutions look at digital risk.
It requires affected companies to:
  • Improve system testing and incident reporting
  • Build digital resilience into strategy
  • Improve the way they manage ICT contractors
Even if your company doesn’t fall under the Act’s scope, aligning with DORA brings considerable benefits.
