DORA requires financial entities and their critical ICT providers to prove they can withstand, respond to, and recover from ICT-related disruptions. Since
Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) covers legal assessment, document preparation and implementation support in Europe. It is typically relevant to businesses, investors and organisations operating or transacting in one or more countries. The precise rules, competent authority and procedure depend on the subject matter, jurisdiction and facts, with EU and national law considered together.
The applicable framework depends on the subject of the service, governing law and countries in which the structure or transaction has effect. EU law and current national legislation are assessed together.

DORA requires financial entities and their critical ICT providers to prove they can withstand, respond to, and recover from ICT-related disruptions. Since 17 January 2025 the regulation is fully applicable, and supervisors are actively reviewing compliance. We help banks, insurers, investment firms, and their technology partners close the gap between existing IT governance and DORA's five-pillar framework.
We assess your current ICT risk-management setup against the Regulation's requirements and the associated RTS/ITS adopted by the European Supervisory Authorities, producing a prioritised remediation plan.
Deliverables include an ICT risk-management framework, incident-classification and escalation procedures, business-continuity and disaster-recovery plans, and revised outsourcing contracts that satisfy Articles 28-30 on third-party ICT risk management.
