Every financial services provider in the EU must prove digital resilience — or risk fines, cyberattacks and regulatory consequences. We make compliance manageable.

Regulatory foundation

What is DORA?

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is an EU-wide regulation ensuring that financial and FinTech companies can withstand and recover from any ICT-related disruptions and cyber threats.

Why action is needed

The biggest DORA challenges

Manual processes and lack of transparency significantly increase the risk of compliance violations, sanctions and security gaps.

01  // TRANSPARENCY

Lack of overview of contracts & service providers

DORA requires a complete overview of all contracts, especially with ICT third-party providers. Manual filing and scattered data lead to unnoticed risks and missed deadlines.

02  // ERROR MANAGEMENT

High risk through human error

Unstructured contract processes cause faulty clauses, incomplete risk assessments and compliance gaps. Without standardised management, error-proneness rises significantly.

03  // REPORTING

Time-consuming audit and reporting duties

DORA demands seamless reports and rapid evidence of all contract-related risks. Manual reporting costs time and increases the risk of incomplete documentation.

04  // SUPPLY CHAINS

Complex external supplier chains

Companies must demonstrate that their IT service providers have implemented DORA-compliant security mechanisms. Without continuous monitoring, uncontrolled risks emerge.
