DORA, in its own words, "addresses a critical gap in EU financial regulation." The act acknowledges that a lack of operational resilience and consequent ICT incidents can disintegrate the status quo of a financial system, even though an organization has invested adequately in avoiding cyber risk.
Financial institutions are now expected to comply with DORA's strict guidelines for preventing ICT-related events. The guidelines include "protection, detection, containment, recovery, and repair." DORA overtly aims to reduce ICT risks by listing stringent laws for ICT risk management, incident reporting, operational resilience testing, and supervision of third-party risks.
