DORA compliance services
Working together to achieve cyber resilience
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a landmark EU regulation that means financial organisations have to make sure they can prevent and mitigate cyber threats and withstand, respond to, and recover from all types of ICT-related disruptions.
Guaranteeing resilient operations in the face of cybersecurity threats
The launch of the DORA Regulation marks a shift in emphasis from solely ensuring organisations’ financial stability to guaranteeing their ability to maintain resilient operations in the face of severe disruptions caused by cybersecurity and information communication technology (ICT) issues. Banks, insurance companies, and many other financial entities are all directly impacted by DORA.
Organisations must prepare for the increased regulatory engagement powers that DORA will give to both national and EU-level supervisors. Instead of merely viewing this as a compliance task, organisations may need to develop new operational resilience capabilities, that must be tested and proven to work, and fully commit to an ongoing mandate to enhance their cybersecurity maturity.
Compliance with DORA is mandatory from 17 January 2025

LRQA Nettitude’s extensive services cover all five pillars of DORA
LRQA Nettitude is uniquely positioned as a full-service provider to guide you through every step of your journey to achieving compliance. Our comprehensive services cover all five pillars of DORA:
1. Risk management
The requirement to identify, assess, mitigate, and be accountable for guaranteeing the ability to maintain resilient operations in the face of severe disruptions caused by cybersecurity and ICT issues.
2. Incident management, classification and reporting
The need to implement early-warning systems to detect and manage cyber incidents, and to report those incidents promptly. This level of vigilance requires a dedicated security operations centre.
3. Digital operational resilience testing
The requirement to maintain effective, risk-centric, and independent testing programmes. This could include the use of both a technology and human testing strategy of attack surface management and continuous assurance technology capabilities, combined with red teaming, purple teaming and advanced penetration testing against regulatory frameworks such as TIBER EU.
4. Third-party risk management
The need to include and manage ICT risks from third parties within overall ICT management frameworks.
5. Information sharing
Consenting to and participating in the exchange of valuable cybersecurity threat and intelligence information among critical entities.
Why choose LRQA Nettitude for DORA compliance?
As the cybersecurity technologies and processes integrated into financial organisations evolve, so does the legislation that governs them. To mitigate risks, organisations must navigate complexities, adapt to evolving legislation, and invest in cybersecurity measures. Compliance is essential to avoid penalties and maintain trust.
