Stronger Operational Security
Implementation of advanced security measures to prevent and mitigate technology risks and respond effectively to threats.
DORA Compliance
Digital Operational Resilience Act
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a European Union regulation that establishes mandatory security requirements for financial entities and ICT service providers so they can withstand, respond to, and recover from technological incidents and cyberattacks.
DORA's main objective is to strengthen digital operational resilience, ensuring the continuity of financial services even when organisations face cyber incidents, system failures, or disruptions affecting technology services.
CyberNow provides practical services aligned with DORA to help your organisation achieve compliance and strengthen operational security.
