DORA Consulting

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2554) introduces a harmonised, EU-wide framework for ICT risk management, cyber resilience, incident reporting, ICT third-party oversight and supervisory cooperation. To support organisations in meeting these new obligations, we offer specialised DORA Consulting services for both financial entities and ICT third-party service providers.

Our approach combines deep regulatory expertise with practical, implementation-ready guidance. We translate legal requirements, RTS/ITS specifications and supervisory expectations into concrete, actionable steps—ensuring your organisation becomes fully compliant, audit-ready and operationally resilient.
