DORA

DORA: digital operational resilience in practice

DORA has applied since 17 January 2025 and requires financial entities to manage ICT risk, incidents, resilience testing and external providers as a continuous operating model, not a one-off project.

DORA is ICT risk governance, not only a checklist

DORA combines ICT risk management, incident handling, resilience testing, third-party oversight and executive reporting into one regulatory operating model.

  • ICT control model and decision ownership.
  • Incident classification, escalation and reporting readiness.
  • Critical supplier assessment and outsourced ICT oversight.
  • Resilience testing and evidence of effectiveness.

POLEGIS service scope

  • Review the current ICT risk framework against DORA expectations.
  • Structure incident catalogs, thresholds, escalation and reporting paths.
  • Map suppliers, contracts, service registers and oversight obligations.
  • Prepare management, audit and process-owner materials.

Outcome for a financial organization

  • One DORA map instead of fragmented obligations across multiple teams.
  • A coherent model for controls, incidents, tests and supplier oversight.
  • An executive report showing compliance status, gaps and next actions.
  • Evidence ready for audit, risk office and regulatory functions.

Frequently asked questions

Does DORA require a full redesign of the security model?
Not always. In many cases the first step is to fix roles, metrics, registers and evidence before extending technology controls.

Does POLEGIS work with ICT contracts and suppliers too?
Yes. In practice this is one of the most critical DORA domains, so supplier governance is part of the scope.

Does the service end with a report?
No. The report is a starting point for implementation, not the finish line.
