What does DORA require of a financial entity?

DORA requires digital operational resilience: ICT risk management, resilience testing, incident management, control of critical technology-provider risk and information sharing. Security alone is not enough: you must prove you can withstand and recover.

How is technology-provider risk controlled?

With a register of critical ICT providers, assessment of their risk, DORA-aligned contractual clauses and exit plans. The aim is that dependence on a third party does not compromise the entity continuity.

What is operational resilience testing?

They are exercises that verify the entity can withstand and recover from severe incidents: continuity tests, cyberattack scenarios and, where required, advanced testing. They serve to demonstrate resilience to the regulator, not just assume it.
