DORA: Testing digital operational resilience as the key to compliance
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) sets new standards for cybersecurity in the financial sector. While many organizations are already familiar with DORA's four key pillars, they often lack a clear plan for practical implementation. In this article, we explain how your organization can achieve DORA compliance effectively through targeted IT security testing—helping you not only meet regulatory requirements but also strengthen your overall cyber resilience.
DORA was introduced to minimize operational risks and strengthen digital resilience. Regular ICT security tests are a key requirement in order to identify and rectify vulnerabilities at an early stage. This is where our IT security services and Pentesting+ come into play.
