DORA
What is DORA?
DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) is an EU regulation focused on ICT risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing, and third‑party risk oversight for certain financial entities and their critical ICT service providers.
Who is DORA for?
- In-scope financial entities operating in the EU
- ICT service providers supporting in-scope entities (especially where contractual obligations flow down)
Typical timeline
Readiness often involves formalizing ICT risk governance, strengthening incident response and reporting, validating resilience/testing practices, and building evidence for ongoing oversight.
What SecureSlate can help automate
- Vendor risk workflows for third‑party oversight and recurring reviews
- Evidence collection for operational processes (reviews, testing, approvals)
- Risk tracking to document remediation and residual risk over time
Does DORA require a formal audit?
DORA is a regulatory requirement. Oversight may include regulator reviews, evidence requests, and examinations depending on entity type and jurisdiction.
