Why DORA matters
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) sets out clear rules to help financial organisations strengthen their risk management and cybersecurity.
In force since January 17, 2023, it requires financial institutions to fully comply by January 17, 2025. The goal is to boost cyber resilience so these organisations can better manage, monitor, and reduce non-financial risks.
