Our team of experts provide tailored guidance and support to help your organisation achieve digital operational resilience. We simplify compliance by integrating DORA requirements into your existing frameworks, ensuring a smooth and efficient path to compliance.
The first step to compliance is understanding that DORA is divided into five core pillars that address various aspects or domains within information and
communications technology (ICT) and cyber security, providing a comprehensive digital resiliency framework for the relevant entities.
The pillars are summarised as follows:
inventory
A documented ICT risk management framework must be established which enables financial entities to quickly mitigate ICT risks.
report
Early notification systems must be in place to detect, report and mitigate incidents efficiently.
add_task
A testing programme should be established appropriate to the business risk profile. This may include penetration and Red Team testing based on the organisation’s risk level.
handshake
A high level of managing ICT third-party service provider risk is required. Providers with critical or important functions must be identified and mapped to dependencies.
share
DORA encourages trusted financial entities to elevate awareness of ICT-related risks by sharing threat intelligence.
Achieve and maintain compliance through with Risk Crew cost-effective compliance service:
Risk Crew will assess your current ICT risk management and resiliency framework controls against those established in the 5 pillars of the regulation to identify the current compliance ‘gaps’ and then generate a comprehensive report of our findings and recommendations.
The Roadmap will cite specific actions required for compliance, proposed action owners, target completion dates and estimated budget requirements.
Upon completion of the roadmap, a half-day workshop for key business stakeholders will be conducted to ensure their understanding of the remedial actions needed for compliance and the estimated resources and timeline required.
Risk Crew consultants provide ongoing support throughout remediation to ensure all questions are answered and eliminate surprises. You receive the assistance you need to gain compliance.
Whether you need to achieve regulatory compliance or need to verify your current operational resilience against DORA, Risk Crew delivers a streamlined and efficient process.

“Thanks to Risk Crew, we are DORA compliant. We appreciated the process and collaboration evolved between our team and the Risk Crew team. We all enjoyed working with them as they made us feel like they were an extension to our team rather than an external supplier.”

DORA applies to financial institutions conducting operations in the EU.See the complete list of entities within the scope in our blog post.
Entities subject to DORA that fail to comply may face penalty payments of up to 1% of their average daily global turnover from the previous business year.
The EU has acknowledged the growing number of cyber-attacks on the financial sector. DORA was introduced to help organisations reduce the risks and impacts of threats on Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
Most of ISO 27001 controls will cover the requirements but not all. Conducting a mapping exercise with your existing controls will confirm any gaps.
