About DORA compliance for the financial sector
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) came into force in January this year, and the financial sector businesses affected need to achieve DORA compliance by 17th January 2025.
For the financial sector as well as critical third parties that provide Information Communication Technologies (ICT)-related services to them e.g. cloud platforms, DORA lifts IT security best practice to a new level. Additionally, it enables resilient operations that can withstand, responds to and recover from all types of ICT-related disruptions caused by cyber security incidents and IT issues.
Given the broad scope of DORA, it addresses many topics that already apply to Financial Sector firms operating in the EU and the United Kingdom. However, it is more prescriptive around ICT and cyber resilience than current UK operational resilience regulation. Therefore, UK businesses will need to act quickly to determine if they fall within the scope of DORA, based on the range of types of financial markets activities included and whether those take place within EU jurisdictions.
