The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) entered into force on Jan 16, 2023, and will apply from Jan 17, 2025.
DORA is designed to enhance financial entities’ cybersecurity and operational resilience.
This regulation seeks to protect various financial entities from operational risks stemming from ICT vulnerabilities and third-party dependencies.
DORA aims to harmonise and strengthen the IT security of various financial institutions like banks, insurance companies, payment service providers, investment firms, and suppliers, such as third-party service providers.
DORA seeks to fortify financial institutions’ cybersecurity infrastructure by setting stringent standards for identifying, managing, and reporting cyber threats and ICT-related incidents.
The potential financial penalties are significant, with fines reaching up to 2% of total annual global revenue for firms.
