What is DORA?

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is an EU regulation that has applied since January 2025 to banks, insurers, investment firms, payment service providers and other financial market participants. DORA sets specific requirements for ICT risk management, incident reporting and — particularly importantly — the management of ICT third-party risks.

DORA Requirements at a Glance

  • ICT risk management framework (Art. 5-16)
  • ICT-related incident management and reporting obligations (Art. 17-23)
  • Digital operational resilience testing (Art. 24-27)
  • ICT third-party risks: register, contracts, monitoring (Art. 28-44)
  • Information sharing on cyber threats (Art. 45)

DORA Art. 28-44: ICT Third-Party Risks

The most demanding part of DORA is the management of ICT third-party risks. Financial entities must maintain a complete register of all ICT third-party providers, identify critical providers, adjust contracts and ensure continuous monitoring.

DORA vs. NIS2 — What Applies to You?

DORA is lex specialis relative to NIS2 — for ICT-specific requirements, DORA takes precedence. However, financial entities are subject to both regulations simultaneously. For physical security and non-ICT supply chains, NIS2 remains fully in force. We advise you on both frameworks in an integrated approach.
