Frequently Asked Questions about DORA
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a significant regulatory requirement aimed at improving the operational stability of digital systems in the financial sector in the European Union (EU). Below are answers to frequently asked questions.
What is the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)?
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a binding EU regulation that came into effect on January 16, 2023 and will become binding from January 17, 2025. The regulation aims to improve the IT security of financial companies such as banks, insurance companies, and securities firms to ensure that the financial sector in Europe remains resilient in the event of significant digital operational disruptions. The DORA requirements harmonize regulations for the operational resilience of the financial sector and apply to 20 different types of financial companies as well as ICT third-party providers.
What are the key requirements of DORA?
DORA imposes several requirements on financial institutions to improve their digital resilience. These requirements include:
- ICT risk management: financial institutions must implement and maintain effective frameworks, policies and procedures to identify, assess, manage and mitigate ICT-related risks.
- Incident reporting: Financial institutions are required to promptly report material ICT-related incidents to the relevant authorities to enable a coordinated response and analysis of potential systemic risks.
- Operational resilience testing: Regular testing and assessment of operational resilience is mandatory to ensure that institutions can effectively detect, contain, recover and resolve ICT-related incidents.
- Monitoring the risks of third-party ICT providers: Financial institutions must monitor and manage the risks associated with third-party providers, such as cloud providers, to ensure that their digital resilience measures meet the requirements of DORA.
How will DORA impact the European financial sector?
DORA will have a significant impact on EU financial institutions by regulating a broader range of companies than the existing EBA guidelines. Credit institutions, insurance companies, investment firms, payment institutions, capital management companies, crypto service providers, credit rating agencies and ICT service providers will be affected.
All regulated financial institutions and their third-party ICT providers must adapt their governance, risk management and operational practices to meet the higher standards for operational resilience and cybersecurity. This will require significant investment in technology, processes and resources to comply with DORA requirements and to effectively manage and recover from ICT-related incidents.
How much time do financial institutions have to implement DORA regulations?
