DORA readiness: operational resilience is now a legal test
DORA turns ICT resilience into a supervised obligation for financial entities and their technology providers alike.
DORA reframes resilience. It is no longer a best-effort commitment but a supervised requirement covering ICT risk management, incident reporting, testing and third-party oversight.
The third-party dimension is the sharp edge. Critical ICT providers to financial entities are drawn into the regime, and contracts must be rewritten to meet specific regulatory content.
Testing expectations rise with size and criticality, up to threat-led penetration testing for the most significant entities.
The register of information, the inventory of ICT arrangements, is deceptively demanding and often underestimated in readiness programmes.
We build DORA readiness as an operating model: mapped obligations, remediated contracts, tested resilience and an evidence trail supervisors can follow.
