How can we help?
DORA Consultancy & Compliance Services
Financial institutions operate in an increasingly complex digital landscape where cyber threats and operational risks pose significant challenges.
The European Union’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a response to these growing concerns, ensuring that financial entities and their IT service providers can maintain resilience against disruptions.
Compliance with DORA is not just a regulatory requirement—it is essential for safeguarding business continuity and maintaining trust in the financial sector.
ToraGuard specialises in guiding organisations through the intricacies of DORA compliance, providing expert consultancy services that help you build a strong operational resilience framework.
What is DORA?: Strengthening Financial Resilience
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a regulatory framework introduced by the European Union to enhance the operational resilience of financial entities.
It establishes uniform requirements for managing IT-related risks to ensure that financial institutions can withstand, respond to, and recover from cyber threats and technology failures.
DORA focuses on risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing, and third-party oversight to mitigate operational vulnerabilities and enhance overall cyber security standards.
DORA applies to a wide range of financial entities, including banks, insurance companies, investment firms, and IT service providers that support the financial sector.
While a piece of EU legislation, it impacts UK and wider organisations who transact in the European financial sector.
