Implement DORA: digital operational resilience you can prove
From ICT risk management through incident reporting to the third-party register: isidaten maps the DORA pillars in one place. The regulation has applied since 17 January 2025.
What DORA requires
DORA, the Digital Operational Resilience Act, creates a uniform framework for digital operational resilience in the financial sector. It covers financial entities and their ICT third-party providers. The regulation rests on five pillars: ICT risk management, handling and reporting of incidents, resilience testing, third-party risk management and information sharing on threats.
How isidaten maps DORA
Each requirement meets a module that runs on the same object base as the risk register, so the evidence stays connected instead of copied across tools.

Who does DORA apply to?
DORA applies to financial entities such as banks, insurers and investment firms, as well as to their ICT third-party providers. The regulation has applied since 17 January 2025.
Does isidaten make me DORA-compliant?
No. Software alone does not create compliance. isidaten maps the five pillars in a structured way and provides the evidence. Implementation and accountability remain with the financial entity.
What is the ICT third-party register?
DORA requires a register of all contracts on ICT services. isidaten keeps providers, contracts and risks in one place, so the register is not a separate effort.
How are DORA and NIS2 related?
Both address cyber resilience, DORA specific to the financial sector, NIS2 more broadly. Where both apply, risk, incident and third parties can run on one shared base.
