Do you want to avoid potential fines of up to 2% of your entity's total annual worldwide turnover?

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a regulatory initiative carried out by the EU to harmonize Information and Communication Technology (ICT) risk requirements across Europe in the financial services industry.

It builds on existing institutional EU requirements that manage information and communication risks and compliments what is being implemented in the UK and other countries as well. DORA aims to prevent and mitigate cyber threats and ensure that financial entities can withstand, respond to, and recover from all types of ICT related disruptions and threats.

DORA came into force on 16 January 2023 and will apply from 17 January 2025.

With this course in partnership with ICTTF, you will learn how to comply and become a DCCS – DORA Certified Compliance Specialist.
