10 Common Myths About DORA

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) brings sweeping changes to how financial institutions approach digital risk and resilience in the European Union (EU). Here are ten misconceptions clarified.

Only EU Companies Need to Comply

Any financial entities doing business in the EU, including banks, investment firms, insurers, and payment processors, fall under DORA's scope, regardless of their geographic location.

DORA Only Applies to Large Institutions

DORA applies to financial entities of all sizes, from small payment providers to major multinational banks. It establishes a consistent framework for digital operational resilience, regardless of an entity's size.

DORA Is Mostly About Security

The Act is much more than that. It addresses risk management, performance management, 3rd-party dependencies, operational resilience, incident reporting, and overall digital infrastructure stability.

This Doesn't Affect 3rd-Party Vendors

Third-party providers like cloud services, IT platforms, and even outsourced solutions must also meet DORA oversight requirements. Financial entities are responsible for ensuring vendor compliance.

DORA Compliance Is a One-Time Effort

Compliance is considered ongoing. It demands continuous monitoring to ensure systems are healthy, regular testing to validate resilience against emerging threats, updates, etc.

This Only Applies to Financial Disruptions

DORA covers a wide range of operational risks, including IT system failures, cyber incidents, supply chain disruptions, and other events impacting digital operations.

Only IT Teams Need to Worry About DORA

The Act affects the entire company, from C-level executives to compliance officers, and requires a coordinated effort to ensure alignment with the regulation and avoid fines for non-compliance.

DORA Is Only About Protecting Data

DORA is concerned with resilience of the entire digital ecosystem, including risk management, 3rd-party oversight, incident reporting, and maintaining digital operational continuity.

DORA Doesn't Require Testing

Regular testing of digital resilience, including synthetic testing, threat simulations, and risk assessments, is a critical requirement of DORA to ensure systems can withstand risks.

It Is Optional to Other Regulations

DORA is not optional. Financial entities must adhere to DORA requirements regardless of existing regulatory frameworks.
