Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)

The Digital Operational Resilience Act is an EU regulation that aims to strengthen the operational resilience of the financial sector to cyber threats and other operational risks. This regulation aims to ensure that financial service providers are able to continue their services reliably even in the event of significant disruptions and attacks on their IT infrastructure. The implementation of DORA was recently categorised as mandatory by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), which underlines the importance of this regulation.

To comply, financial service providers need to analyse their IT and operational processes in depth, revise them and, if necessary, implement new ones. This may not only be a technical challenge, but also a strategic one.
