DORA Compliance
Comply to the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) with cyberelements
What is DORA about?
The DORA regulation, is adopted by the European Union to strengthen the resilience of the financial sector against cyber threats. The financial sector is particularly vulnerable due to its reliance on information and communication technologies (ICT), the sensitivity of the data it processes, and its strategic role in the economy.
Cyberattacks targeting this sector can have serious consequences for the entities involved and for financial stability. To address this growing threat, the EU adopted DORA to establish a harmonized resilience framework at the European level.
DORA covers a wide range of financial sector actors, including:
- Traditional players: Investment firms, insurers.
- IT service providers
- New players: Electronic Money Institutions (EMI), payment institutions, crypto-asset service providers
