DORA · EU Regulation · In Force Jan 2025

Financial resilience
isn't optional.
DORA makes it law.

The Digital Operational Resilience Act sets binding ICT requirements for EU financial entities. From risk management and incident reporting to resilience testing and third-party oversight — Bitsecura gets you compliant and keeps you there.

Four disciplines. One resilience programme.

Whether you're a bank, investment firm, or critical ICT provider, our services cover every DORA pillar — from scoping your obligations and building your risk framework, to governing third-party exposure and proving your resilience holds up under pressure.

Scope & Gap Assessment

We determine your entity classification under DORA, inventory all in-scope ICT systems and third-party providers, and run a structured gap analysis across all five pillars. You receive a prioritized remediation roadmap — so your compliance programme starts with a clear picture, not assumptions.

ICT Risk & Incident Management

We design your ICT risk management framework, control architecture, and asset classification policies aligned to DORA Chapter II. Incident classification schemes and authority reporting workflows are built in from day one — so when a significant event occurs, your team knows exactly what to report, to whom, and by when.

Third-Party Risk Management

DORA's most operationally demanding pillar. We build your Register of Information, repaper ICT contracts to embed mandatory DORA clauses, design vendor due diligence and ongoing oversight processes, and develop exit strategies — so your third-party exposure is visible, governed, and audit-ready.

Resilience Testing

DORA mandates regular testing — and Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) for significant entities. Our offensive security team runs scenario-based assessments and TLPT programmes that meet regulatory requirements and surface real weaknesses before regulators or adversaries do.

From scope to sustained compliance

No off-the-shelf templates. Every engagement is shaped by your entity type, ICT footprint, and regulatory timeline — not the other way around.

Step 01

Scope

We determine your entity classification under DORA and map all in-scope ICT systems, third-party providers, and critical functions. Clarity before action — no wasted effort on out-of-scope work.

Step 02

Assess

A structured gap analysis across all DORA pillars: ICT risk management, incident classification, resilience testing, and third-party risk. You'll see exactly where you stand against each regulatory requirement.

Step 03

Implement

Policies, procedures, and controls deployed alongside your teams — incident registers, TLPT programmes, and third-party oversight mechanisms built into your existing workflows. Compliance that works in practice, not just on paper.

Step 04

Sustain

Ongoing evidence collection, incident reporting support, and annual testing cycles to keep pace with supervisory expectations. DORA isn't a one-time project — we stay with you as the landscape evolves.
