DORA Compliance Services
Ensure your financial entity meets the requirements of the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) — building the ICT risk management, incident reporting, and operational resilience capabilities demanded by EU regulators.
DORA Compliance Methodology
Our four-phase DORA approach takes financial entities from initial scoping and gap assessment through to resilience testing and certification — covering every pillar of the regulation.
Requirements Identification
Assess which DORA obligations apply to your organisation, mapping your ICT landscape and identifying the requirements most critical to your operating model and entity classification.
What you receive: Scope and applicability assessment, DORA requirements matrix, prioritised gap list.
Current Status Assessment
Evaluate your existing ICT risk management, incident reporting, and third-party oversight capabilities against DORA requirements — producing a risk-based remediation roadmap.
What you receive: DORA readiness assessment report, gap analysis, risk-prioritised remediation roadmap.
Controls Implementation
Implement the ICT risk management framework, incident reporting processes, and third-party risk programme required under DORA — with full documentation for regulatory review.
What you receive: ICT risk management framework, incident reporting procedures, third-party risk register, documentation pack.
Resilience Testing & Certification
Conduct DORA-mandated digital operational resilience testing — including threat-led penetration testing (TLPT) where required — and support the certification process.
What you receive: TLPT results, resilience test findings, certification support documentation.
DORA Compliance Service Areas
ICT Risk Management
Implement a DORA-compliant ICT risk management framework covering risk identification, protection, detection, response, and recovery — tailored to your financial entity’s operating model and entity classification.
Incident Reporting
Establish structured incident classification and reporting processes aligned with DORA’s mandatory reporting timelines — including 24-hour initial notification and detailed reporting templates for major ICT-related incidents.
Third-Party Risk Management
Design and implement a programme for managing ICT third-party risk under DORA — covering due diligence, contractual requirements, and ongoing oversight of critical ICT service providers.
Resilience Testing
Conduct DORA-mandated digital operational resilience testing — including basic testing programmes for all in-scope entities and advanced threat-led penetration testing (TLPT) for significant financial institutions.
Tailored testing approaches
| Approach | What it simulates | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|
| Black Box | An external attacker with zero knowledge of the application's internals | External-facing apps, pre-launch assessments |
| Grey Box | A compromised insider or threat actor with partial access (credentials, architectural overview) | Post-authentication flows, privilege escalation testing |
| White Box | Full access to source code, architecture diagrams, and environment details | Deep-dive code review, CI/CD pipeline integration, maximum coverage |
