Embracing DORA – A New Era for Financial Resilience

The digital landscape in finance is evolving rapidly, necessitating stringent measures to ensure operational resilience. On January 17, 2023, the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) was enacted, setting a compliance deadline of January 17, 2025. This regulation marks a pivotal shift, aiming to bolster the financial sector against digital disruptions.

Why DORA Matters

DORA is critical because it standardizes the requirements for digital resilience across all EU member states, including associated regions like Liechtenstein and potentially impacting firms in Switzerland through supply chain extensions. Its implementation is crucial not only for large financial institutions but also for asset managers and smaller firms, ensuring they all maintain robust digital practices.
