DORA
Digital Operational Resilience

Comprehensive readiness assessment for the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act — the landmark regulation mandating ICT risk management, resilience testing, and third-party oversight across all EU financial entities.

DORA Readiness Assessment

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) entered into force in January 2025, imposing harmonised requirements on banks, insurers, investment firms, and their critical ICT service providers across the EU. It represents the most significant regulatory shift in operational resilience for European financial services.

Simbix delivers expert DORA readiness assessments covering all five pillars of the regulation. We help financial entities understand their obligations, identify gaps in their current ICT risk management frameworks, and build compliant operational resilience programmes.

Five DORA Pillars

  • ICT Risk Management Framework
  • ICT-Related Incident Reporting
  • Digital Operational Resilience Testing
  • ICT Third-Party Risk Management
  • Information Sharing Arrangements
