DORA COMPLIANCE AUDIT
DORA audit: see if your operational resilience meets the regulator’s requirement
A DORA compliance audit for financial entities. We assess ICT risk management, incident handling, resilience testing and third-party oversight, pointing out gaps before an inspection.
WHY IT MATTERS
DORA turns ICT security from good practice into a hard legal obligation
The DORA regulation places concrete, enforceable requirements on financial entities for digital resilience. This is no longer a matter of good practice, it is compliance that supervisors verify.
The audit shows where you really stand against DORA: from ICT risk management and incident handling, through resilience testing, to oversight of third-party ICT providers. We point out gaps before the regulator does.
WHAT WE CHECK
The five areas supervisors verify
We tailor the scope to your entity type and which DORA provisions actually apply to you.
OUR APPROACH
We combine regulatory knowledge with offensive practice
DORA requires not just documents but real resilience. So the audit is run by people who test controls every day, not only read the regulation. We see where paper compliance diverges from practice.
The result is not a general score but a map of gaps with priorities and concrete actions, arranged around the real compliance deadline. You know what to do first and why.
DORA SCOPE
All pillars of the regulation, not selected fragments
The audit covers the key areas DORA requires of financial entities.
STANDARDS & CERTIFICATIONS
We work to recognized methodologies, not gut feeling
Every project is run by certified pentesters and based on public standards. That makes the result repeatable, auditable and comparable across vendors.
We share the full list of certifications and standards on request, together with a sample test scope.
HOW WE DO IT
An audit run in stages
EVIDENCE
Numbers behind every promise
Every test is run by certified pentesters, and we document the result with reproduction steps, evidence and a verified remediation path. Proof, not a promise.
KNOWLEDGE
A DORA compliance audit in practice
What DORA is and who it applies to
DORA is the EU regulation on digital operational resilience for the financial sector. It covers banks, insurers, investment firms and many other market participants, as well as their key ICT service providers.
The regulation requires structured ICT risk management, incident handling and regular resilience testing. It is not a recommendation but an obligation with concrete consequences for falling short.
What we verify in a DORA audit
We check the ICT risk management framework, the incident reporting process, third-party provider risk management and the resilience testing program, including the requirement for advanced TLPT for selected entities.
For each area we assess whether you meet the requirement in practice, not just in a document. The result shows where you are ready for supervisory questions and where work remains.
Why the deadline is real
DORA is in force and enforced, and non-compliance risks sanctions and questions from the regulator. Postponing the topic increases cost and risk, because some requirements take time to implement.
So we treat the audit as the start of a concrete plan, not a one-off review. The point is to be ready before the supervisor checks you, not after the fact.
What you get and how to use it
You get a gap analysis against DORA requirements and a prioritized action roadmap, linked to your organization critical functions. We summarize the topic separately for the board and for technical teams.
Where DORA requires resilience testing, we help plan the right scope, including TLPT if it applies to you. This way compliance and real resilience go hand in hand.
