Practical guidance for complying with DORA requirements and getting audit-ready now the regulation is in full effect

The EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) has been in effect since January 2025, strengthening operational resilience across the financial services sector. To comply, financial institutions must ensure all business‑critical third‑party applications are protected against severe operational disruption.

DORA also requires firms to include key provisions in third‑party contracts, including accessibility, availability, integrity, security, recovery, return of data, and verification of exit strategies.

What's inside the guide:

• A clear, simplified overview of what DORA is
• Who DORA applies to across the EU financial ecosystem
• The mandatory contractual provisions financial institutions must include for third‑party providers
• Practical solutions to mitigate third‑party and ICT‑supplier risk
• Best‑practice guidance to strengthen operational resilience and meet DORA expectations now that the regulation is fully in force

Are you Audit-Ready?

Now that DORA is fully enforceable, organisations must be able to prove their resilience. Regulators will expect clear, documented evidence that your business can continue operating during ICT disruption, supplier failure, or service deterioration.
