DORA compliance
We outline how our platform architecture, internal controls, and ongoing service management align with DORA’s stringent requirements for digital operational resilience, ensuring our financial sector partners remain compliant, secure, and future-ready.
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) represents a transformative shift in how financial entities in the EU must manage digital risk. At Enliven Systems, we view DORA not as a burden but as a benchmark that aligns seamlessly with our philosophy of secure-by-design, resilient-by-default ICT services.
DORA (Regulation (EU) 2022/2554) mandates that all financial entities operating within the EU, banks, insurers, asset managers, payment service providers, and their ICT third-party providers must demonstrate the ability to withstand, respond to, and recover from ICT-related disruptions and threats. It imposes legally binding obligations across five domains.
Enforcement begins January 17, 2025, and non-compliance may lead to regulatory sanctions, reputational harm, or contractual liability.
We support financial organizations by ensuring our ICT infrastructure and operational practices are resilient, transparent, and verifiably aligned with DORA’s requirements. Below is how we map our service delivery to each major pillar of the regulation.
DORA requires financial entities and their ICT partners to establish sound, documented, and regularly tested ICT risk management frameworks.
We also provide risk classification templates and data lineage visualizations to help clients meet their internal risk documentation obligations.
