Operational resilience is no longer optional.
DORA sets strict expectations for how financial institutions manage ICT risk. Empowered helps you centralize control frameworks, track incidents, and prove compliance—without adding complexity.
Understanding DORA
An EU regulation designed to strengthen operational resilience.
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a comprehensive regulation introduced by the European Union to ensure financial institutions can withstand, respond to, and recover from ICT-related disruptions. It applies to banks, insurers, investment firms, and critical third-party providers.
- Requires ICT risk management frameworks covering prevention, detection, and response.
- Mandates testing, incident reporting, and oversight of third-party providers.
- Goes into effect in January 2025 for all in-scope EU financial entities.
Your Resilience Is Under Review
Regulators are no longer just concerned with financial capital – they’re focused on digital continuity. DORA forces institutions to prove that systems, vendors, and processes can withstand disruption. That requires more than good intentions—it demands structure.
- Elevates ICT risk to a regulatory priority across Europe.
- Requires ongoing testing, governance, and incident tracking.
- Impacts relationships with third parties, outsourcers, and cloud providers.
