Strengthening digital resilience across Europe’s financial sector (DORA)
With the January 2025 DORA compliance deadline approaching fast, financial institutions must act now to ensure their digital operations are secure, resilient, and compliant. FiSer Consulting’s latest whitepaper, Bridging Gaps in DORA Compliance, provides a clear roadmap to help banks, insurers, fintechs, and ICT service providers meet this critical regulatory milestone—and stay ahead in an evolving digital risk landscape.
What You’ll Learn from This Whitepaper
1. Understanding DORA’s Scope and Strategic Pillars
DORA applies to a wide range of financial market participants, from banks and insurers to fintechs and cloud service providers. The regulation is built on five strategic pillars:
-
-
ICT risk management
-
ICT-related incident reporting
-
Digital operational resilience testing
-
Third-party risk management
-
Cyber threat information sharing
-
Our whitepaper walks you through each pillar and explains how to embed DORA requirements into your business model.
2.The Biggest Compliance Challenges
Small and mid-sized financial institutions often face significant hurdles, including:
-
-
Limited in-house expertise on threat-led penetration testing (TLPT)
-
Lack of standardised reporting tools and data governance
-
Pressure to manage third-party ICT risks with minimal resources
-
Overlap with existing regulations like NIS2 and GDPR
-
FiSer identifies these pain points and offers solutions that are both scalable and cost-effective.
3.The DORA Timeline – What’s Next
With full enforcement from January 17, 2025, and further regulatory updates expected through 2028, DORA is more than a one-off compliance exercise—it’s a long-term operational resilience journey. Our whitepaper outlines what actions institutions should prioritise immediately, including:
-
-
Gap assessments
-
ICT third-party provider registers
-
Cyber threat testing frameworks
-
Timely reporting and post-incident analysis
-
