DORA Compliance Advisory

DORA Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 sets a single, demanding rulebook for digital operational resilience in EU financial services. It treats ICT risk as a board-level governance matter, not an IT one. vCyberBoard Advisor helps boards build a defensible DORA posture.

Who DORA applies to

DORA applies to financial entities banks, insurers, investment firms, payment institutions and others and reaches the critical ICT third-party providers that serve them. We help boards confirm their classification, timeline and obligations.

ICT risk management framework

DORA requires a documented, board-approved ICT risk-management framework covering identification, protection, detection, response and recovery. We help design it to be governed with clear roles, reporting and review rather than filed and forgotten.

Operational resilience and testing

Beyond controls, DORA demands evidence that the organisation can withstand and recover through scenario testing, threat-led penetration testing and digital operational resilience testing programmes. We help the board understand the results and the gaps they reveal.

Third-party and ICT services risk

Much of operational risk now lives outside the organisation. DORA tightens contract terms, monitoring and concentration risk for ICT providers including cloud. We help boards oversee the supply chain that now carries their resilience.

Your DORA Advisor

Framework design, board reporting, testing programmes and third-party risk oversight independent advisory aligned to NIS2 and ISO/IEC 27001 so obligations reinforce rather than duplicate.
