If you\u2019ve been hearing the term \u2018DORA\u2019 more often lately \u2013 don\u2019t be surprised. As of early 2025, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is fully enforced across the European Union, now serving as a vital part of cybersecurity in the financial sector.

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) was adopted in early 2023 and came into force across the EU on 17 January 2025. Its goal is to strengthen the digital resilience of the financial sector and manage potential risks more effectively. DORA aims to establish a unified and consistent supervisory approach throughout the EU financial system by harmonising cybersecurity and operational resilience practices.<\/p>

The act seeks to enhance digital operational resilience within the EU\u2019s financial sector by strengthening the risk management and incident reporting systems of three key groups: \n\n1. Financial institutions, including banks, electronic money and payment providers, insurance companies, investment firms, and others;\n2.ICT (information and communications technology) providers; \n3.Third-party service providers.<\/p>

It\u2019s important to emphasise that compliance with DORA is required not only from financial entities but also from the IT vendors that support them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    • Know if DORA applies to you: Make sure you know whether your business needs to comply with DORA. Consult the Bank of Lithuania (Lietuvos Bankas) or the National Cyber Security Centre (NKSC) for clarification.<\/li>

    • Change your habits: Traditional methods of evaluating financial or operational risk often fail to address all digital threats. It\u2019s time to replace outdated approaches with modern frameworks like DORA, both internally and externally.<\/li>
    • Don\u2019t forget the legalities: Review agreements with current third-party service providers. Update them if needed to ensure full DORA compliance.<\/strong> per\u017evelkite susitarimus su esamais i\u0161oriniais paslaug\u0173 tiek\u0117jais ir, esant reikalui, juos atnaujinkite, kad viskas atitikt\u0173 DORA.<\/li>
    • Invest in security: Cyber threats are growing every day. Investing in staff training, automated monitoring tools, or cybersecurity experts is well worth it.<\/li>
    • Don\u2019t ignore it: Failing to comply with DORA requirements puts your business at risk \u2013 not only in terms of security but also financially. Penalties can reach up to 2% of your annual turnover or up to 1% of average daily turnover for each day of non-compliance. Responsible individuals may face fines of up to \u20ac1 million.<\/li>
    • Ask for help if needed: If implementing DORA or other regulatory requirements feels overwhelming, consult professionals who can ensure your compliance and maximise cybersecurity.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
