The European Union (EU) framework for Digital Operational Resilience Act (“DORA”) takes effect in January 2025 and will be a steep change for the financial sector. While 2025 might seem far away, DORA has broad implications for financial institutions. The various regulatory technical standards (“level II texts”) to follow may not be published until late 2024, giving a very short window to implement the necessary changes.

Firms should begin preparations early and consider how they will be impacted. They should also take proactive steps to be in the best position for day one compliance with the new requirements. This session breaks down the key requirements and provide insights on sound practices and international standards which influence the level II texts.

In this session, you will gain insights on:

  1. Preparing Early: Essential steps to prepare for DORA’s impact in January 2025 to meet tight implementation timelines.
  2. Adapting to New Requirements: Understanding how DORA will affect operations in the financial sector and how to ensure compliance from day one.
  3. Best Practices and Standards: Gain insights into the sound practices and global standards that will shape DORA’s implementation.
  4. Leveraging technology: Learn a frustration-free process with requirements mapping and automated controls to prepare for and attain DORA compliance.
