What is DORA and Why It Matters
DORA (Regulation EU 2022/2554) was created to improve the digital resilience of financial entities. It ensures that businesses can handle IT incidents, manage risks, and remain operational during disruptions.
DORA focuses on:
ICT risk management
Incident reporting and response
Digital resilience testing
Managing third-party providers
Regulatory oversight
The regulation becomes fully enforceable from 17 January 2025. Preparing now helps you avoid penalties, maintain trust, and stay ahead of the curve.
Who Needs to Comply with DORA?
Even though DORA is an EU regulation, many UK-based firms must comply if they operate in the EU or serve EU customers.
DORA applies to:
Banks and credit institutions
Investment firms and brokers
Payment service providers
Insurance and reinsurance companies
Crypto-asset service providers
Cloud and ICT service providers
