Here’s a summary of the essential points to understand about DORA: Scope: DORA applies to all financial institutions in the European Union, such as banks, insurance companies, and investment firms. Objectives: The regulation aims to guarantee the operational resilience of financial institutions by requiring them to identify and manage operational risks and adopt measures to prevent and mitigate cyber threats and data breaches. Requirements: DORA mandates financial institutions to conduct regular risk assessments, develop business continuity plans, and test their IT systems and processes to ensure resilience against cyber threats and other operational risks. Additionally, institutions must protect customer data and adhere to data protection regulations. Supervision: National competent authorities and the European Banking Authority (EBA) will oversee and enforce compliance with the regulation, which may include on-site inspections, issuing guidance, and imposing penalties for non-compliance. Penalties: Non-compliant financial institutions may face fines up to 10 million euros or 5% of their total annual turnover. As a CISO or CIO, it is crucial to ensure your organization implements appropriate measures to comply with DORA. This may involve reviewing and updating your risk management framework, regularly testing and assessing your IT systems and processes, and ensuring compliance with data protection regulations. Staying up to date with guidance and best practices issued by supervisory authorities is also essential to ensure your organization meets its obligations under the regulation.

What role will supervisory authorities play in enforcing the DORA regulation?Supervisory authorities hold a vital role in the enforcement of DORA regulation. The regulation suggests that these authorities, including national competent authorities and the European Banking Authority (EBA), will oversee and ensure compliance with the regulation’s requirements. Key responsibilities of supervisory authorities encompass: Evaluating operational resilience: Authorities will assess the operational resilience of financial institutions in their jurisdiction, which involves examining operational resilience plans, mapping and testing critical business services, IT systems, processes, and reviewing outsourcing arrangements. Performing on-site inspections: Authorities may carry out on-site inspections at financial institutions to confirm compliance with the regulation’s requirements. Inspections can target specific risk areas or encompass the entire organization.

Penalties can range from administrative fines, remedial actions, public reprimands, to withdrawal of authorization.

How does the DORA regulation relate to other EU regulations, such as GDPR?The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) regulation and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are distinct regulations addressing various aspects of data protection and cybersecurity within the European Union. Nevertheless, there are crucial ways in which these two regulations intersect. First, both DORA and GDPR emphasize the protection of personal data and the assurance of its confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While DORA primarily targets the operational resilience of financial institutions, it also mandates these institutions to safeguard customer data and adhere to data protection regulations. Second, DORA and GDPR require financial institutions to perform risk assessments and implement suitable risk management measures to defend against cyber threats and data breaches. DORA sets specific requirements for financial institutions to identify and mitigate operational risks, while GDPR obliges organizations to evaluate risks to personal data and apply appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect it. Lastly, DORA and GDPR impose substantial penalties for non-compliance. Financial institutions failing to meet DORA requirements may face fines up to 10 million euros or 5% of their total annual turnover. Meanwhile, GDPR can impose fines up to 20 million euros or 4% of the total annual global turnover, whichever is higher. Financial institutions subject to both regulations must carefully examine their obligations under each regulation and ensure the implementation of appropriate measures to comply with both regulations.
