DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) Regulation

DORA: How ROK Solution simplifies your compliance before the January 2025 deadline

⏳ The DORA Regulation Is Coming Into Effect Soon! On January 17, 2025, all financial institutions in the European Union will need to comply with the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), an ambitious regulation designed to strengthen digital operational resilience against risks associated with information and communication technologies (ICT). However, according to a study conducted by the audit and consulting firm Grant Thornton, 75% of companies subject to DORA had initiated compliance work by the end of 2023, but most were still in the early stages of the process. At ROK Solution, we understand the challenges you face in ensuring the continuity of your operations and meeting these new requirements. This is why we have developed an intuitive, secure, and powerful platform to support you in achieving DORA compliance. What is DORA and why is it essential? The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) establishes a common regulatory framework to ensure that financial institutions can withstand, recover, and continue their operations in the event of ICT-related disruptions. This regulation harmonizes digital resilience practices across the entire European financial ecosystem. DORA is essential because it: Strengthens digital security: Reduces vulnerabilities and IT risks. Protects the continuity of financial services: Ensures the resilience of critical services during crises. Harmonizes European practices: Establishes common standards to anticipate and respond to threats. Scope of application: DORA applies to a wide range of entities, covering over 18,000 financial institutions according to the EBA: Financial institutions: Banks, insurance companies, asset managers. Critical technology providers: Cloud service providers, SaaS, and strategic infrastructures. Fintechs and payment institutions: Innovative digital players integrated into the financial value chain. This scope ensures global resilience, addressing both internal and external dependencies. Main objectives: The main objectives of DORA are: Strengthen cybersecurity and reduce digital operational risks: Identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in ICT systems. Ensure the continuity of critical financial services by minimizing disruptions. Create a harmonized European framework: Standardize digital resilience practices across the sector. Enhance digital governance: Hold executives accountable for ICT risk management and ensure ongoing monitoring. Key requirements: According to the European Banking Authority (EBA), nearly 60% of companies affected by DORA were not yet compliant by the end of 2023. This exposes these organizations to costly operational disruptions and significant financial penalties. These fines can reach up to €10 million or 5% of total annual revenue, depending on the severity of non-compliance. ICT Risk Management: Identification, classification, and mitigation of critical vulnerabilities through dynamic controls and continuous assessments. Business Continuity: Development of robust plans and regular resilience testing with realistic scenarios (IT outages, cyberattacks). ICT Incident Monitoring: Proactive detection of incidents using metrics such as MTTD (Mean Time to Detect) and MTTR (Mean Time to Recover). Third-Party Supervision: Auditing and monitoring critical suppliers with a focus on risks related to the supply chain. Reporting and Traceability: Implementation of compliant dashboards (Excel, JSON, API formats) for tracking and reporting to authorities. Dedicated Governance: Involvement of executives in a proactive digital risk management strategy. How ROK Solution helps you meet DORA requirements 1.
