DORA compliance isn't just a checkbox. Organizations that embrace it gain resilience, trust, and competitive edge.
Start Assessment →Benefits of DORA compliance
Beyond avoiding penalties, compliant organizations see measurable improvements across operations.
Reduced incident impact
Standardized incident response and reporting means faster containment. Organizations with mature ICT risk frameworks see 40% lower incident costs.
Stronger vendor relationships
Third-party risk management requirements force better contracts, clearer SLAs, and more transparent vendor relationships across your supply chain.
Board-level visibility
DORA mandates management body accountability. This means ICT risk finally gets the executive attention and budget it deserves.
Competitive differentiation
Early compliance signals operational maturity to clients, partners, and regulators. In a market where trust is currency, this matters.
Unified resilience framework
DORA replaces fragmented national requirements with one EU-wide standard. Less complexity, clearer expectations, simpler audits.
Penalty avoidance
Non-compliance can cost up to 2% of annual worldwide turnover. For critical ICT providers, penalties apply to senior management directly.

DORA FAQ
DORA applies to financial entities including banks, insurance companies, investment firms, payment providers, and crypto-asset service providers. It also covers critical ICT third-party service providers serving these entities.
Financial entities face penalties up to 2% of total annual worldwide turnover. For critical ICT providers, penalties can apply directly to senior management, including potential daily fines until compliance is achieved.
Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) is required for significant financial entities. Based on the TIBER-EU framework, it involves realistic attack simulations by qualified red teams. We can assess whether your organization falls under TLPT requirements.
Implementation typically takes 6-12 months depending on your current maturity level. Organizations with existing ISO 27001 or similar frameworks often achieve compliance faster due to overlapping requirements.
DORA requires due diligence before onboarding, ongoing monitoring, and specific contractual provisions with all ICT providers. We help you assess existing vendor relationships and establish compliant oversight processes.
