DORA compliance support for financial and regulated organisations
SmartAssessor supports organisations subject to the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) in managing compliance evidence aligned to ICT risk, resilience and governance requirements.
Our platform helps financial entities and critical service providers structure regulatory evidence, coordinate oversight activity, and demonstrate operational resilience under regulatory scrutiny.
SmartAssessor provides digital tools to support DORA-aligned compliance workflows. SmartAssessor does not provide regulatory approval, certification or legal advice.
What is DORA?
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a European Union regulation designed to strengthen the ICT risk management and operational resilience of financial entities.
DORA establishes a unified regulatory framework requiring organisations to:
-
manage and document ICT risks
-
test operational resilience
-
monitor and govern third-party providers
-
detect, classify and report ICT-related incidents
-
demonstrate accountability to regulators
DORA applies across financial services and related ICT providers, and introduces direct regulatory obligations focused on resilience, traceability and supervisory visibility.
Compliance requires organisations to operate structured governance systems, maintain evidence of control effectiveness, and demonstrate resilience capabilities on an ongoing basis.
