Build Digital Resilience. Achieve DORA Compliance with Confidence.
OpenIAM empowers financial institutions with a unified identity governance platform designed to meet DORA’s regulatory mandates; fortifying operations, simplifying audits, and protecting critical digital infrastructure.
Understanding DORA Compliance: Resilience by Regulation
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is the EU’s comprehensive framework for ensuring financial entities can withstand, respond to, and recover from ICT-related disruptions. Effective from January 17, 2025, DORA applies to a broad spectrum of financial institutions and their third-party ICT providers, including banks, insurers, investment firms, payment platforms, and crypto-asset service providers.
Core Compliance Pillars:
- ICT risk management
- Incident detection and reporting
- Digital resilience testing
- Third-party ICT oversight
- Information sharing and executive accountability
Non-compliance can result in regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and operational disruptions. Institutions must be audit-ready—continuously.
The Cost of Falling Short
Failing to comply with DORA puts organizations at serious risk:
- Fines up to 1% of daily global turnover
- Public disclosure of supervisory action
- Erosion of customer trust and market reputation
- Loss of operational continuity in the event of ICT failure
- Heightened regulatory scrutiny and audit fatigue
The Hidden Complexity Behind DORA Compliance
DORA is more than a compliance checklist, it’s a shift toward continuous digital operational resilience. Achieving compliance requires alignment across technology, governance, risk, and external vendors. Fragmented IAM environments and manual processes often expose critical gaps.
