DORA
Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is an innovative European Union legislation designed to improve the digital resilience of financial institutions. At a time when cyber threats and digital risks are gaining momentum, it is essential that banks, insurers and other financial organisations are not only able to offer their services, but also able to continue their operations even in challenging circumstances. DORA provides a clear and structured framework to address these challenges.
Why is DORA Important?
In the modern financial world, digital systems are crucial to the functioning of institutions. Unfortunately, this digitalisation also means that organisations are vulnerable to cyber attacks, IT failures and other risks. DORA is designed to address these vulnerabilities. By implementing DORA, financial institutions can not only strengthen their security, but also increase customer confidence. The aim is to ensure that the financial sector is robust and resilient, which is essential for the stability of the broader financial system.
The Key Features of DORA
DORA includes several key elements that help financial institutions be better prepared for digital risks.
Robust Risk Management
Institutions need to establish a sound risk management programme. This means identifying and managing digital risks so that they are ready for potential problems.
Transparent Incident Reporting
When significant digital incidents occur, institutions should report them quickly to regulators. This provides clarity and helps regulators understand what risks exist.
Strict Supervision
Regulators ensure that institutions are compliant. Financial institutions have to do regular checks to see if they meet the requirements of DORA, which contributes to the stability of the financial system.
Cooperation with Third Parties
In the digital world, financial institutions often collaborate with third-party service providers. DORA requires that these third parties also comply with strict security requirements to ensure a secure environment.
Operational Resilience Testing
Institutions should regularly test their systems to see how well they respond to incidents. This helps them to continuously improve their processes and better prepare for future problems.
The Future of Digital Resilience
With DORA, the EU is taking an important step towards a future where digital resilience is at the heart of the financial sector. It is not only a response to current challenges, but also a proactive approach for the future. Implementing DORA offers financial institutions the opportunity to arm themselves against digital threats while innovating and growing in an increasingly competitive market.
