DORA Compliance Software

Digital Operational Resilience Act. Narrate gives you everything you need to achieve and maintain DORA compliance — ICT risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing, and third-party oversight.

What is DORA?

DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) is an EU regulation that establishes a comprehensive framework for digital operational resilience in the financial sector. It requires financial entities to manage ICT risk, report major ICT-related incidents, conduct digital operational resilience testing, and manage third-party ICT service provider risk. DORA applies to banks, insurance companies, investment firms, and their critical ICT providers.

Common DORA challenges

DORA readiness trips up even experienced teams. Here's what slows people down.

ICT Risk Management Complexity

DORA requires comprehensive ICT risk identification, protection, detection, response, and recovery capabilities across the entire organisation.

Incident Reporting Timelines

Strict notification deadlines for major ICT incidents require robust detection, classification, and escalation processes.

Third-Party Oversight

Managing ICT concentration risk and maintaining oversight of critical third-party providers demands continuous monitoring and assessment.

Resilience Testing Requirements

Threat-led penetration testing and advanced testing programmes require careful planning, execution, and remediation tracking.
