Understanding DORA: Strengthening Digital Resilience Across EU Finance
DORA unifies disparate national rules into a single framework covering ICT risk governance, incident reporting, resilience testing, and third-party oversight. Financial entities must embed risk management into board-level strategy, simulate outages, report major incidents within tight deadlines, and ensure contracts with ICT providers include security and exit provisions.
Forgepath translates regulatory text into action—mapping your ICT landscape, implementing controls, automating reports, and preparing evidence for supervisors—so you reduce downtime, avoid fines, and build customer and regulator trust in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.
