DORA - Digital Operational Resilience Act Complete Training

Descripción

“This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.” The financial sector has fundamentally shifted from a physical industry to a digital one, necessitating a regulatory evolution from capital-based stability to operational resilience. This course provides a comprehensive, enterprise-grade analysis of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), the EU regulation designed to unify digital risk rules across the financial ecosystem. It is designed for compliance professionals, risk managers, and IT leaders who must navigate the complexities of securing financial entities against operational disruptions and cyber incidents. The curriculum is structured around the five core pillars of the DORA framework, ensuring a holistic understanding of the regulation's requirements. We begin by establishing the strategic scope, identifying the broad range of covered entities—from traditional banks and insurers to crypto-asset service providers and critical ICT third-party vendors. Participants will examine Pillar I (ICT Risk Management), focusing on the governance responsibilities of the management body and the "Three Lines of Defense" model required to secure systems. Moving beyond theory, the course details the strict procedural requirements for Incident Reporting (Pillar II), including the classification of major incidents and mandatory notification timelines. We explore Digital Operational Resilience Testing (Pillar III), distinguishing between routine vulnerability scans and advanced Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) based on the TIBER-EU framework. A significant portion of the training is dedicated to ICT Third-Party Risk Management (Pillar IV), addressing the oversight of critical vendors (CTPPs), mandatory contract clauses, and exit strategies. Finally, the course applies these concepts through complex, realistic case studies—including cloud blackouts and silent data breaches—to demonstrate how compliance is maintained under stress. By the end of this training, learners will possess the strategic knowledge to conduct gap analyses and build a roadmap for DORA compliance, preparing their organizations to avoid penalties that can reach up to 2% of global turnover.
