DORA Consulting
DORA is the EU regulation for digital operational resilience in the financial sector. It brings ICT risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing, and ICT third-party risk requirements into one framework that applies directly across Member States. We turn those requirements into a practical program with clear ownership, evidence, testing, and remediation.
What is DORA?
DORA is the EU framework for digital operational resilience in the financial sector. It asks financial entities to identify and manage ICT risk, report major ICT-related incidents, test their resilience, and control dependencies on ICT third-party providers.
Current EU focus
DORA has applied across the EU since 17 January 2025. Implementation continues through technical standards, supervisory expectations, incident reporting, resilience testing, and oversight of critical ICT third-party providers, so compliance needs to be maintained as an operating process.
