As the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) looms on the horizon, financial firms across the EU are gearing up for a new era of cybersecurity and operational resilience. With the compliance deadline set for January 2025, organisations are racing against time to align their operations with DORA’s stringent requirements. In this landscape of regulatory transformation, our innovative Intelligent Platform (IP) emerges as a game-changer, offering a clear path to not just compliance, but perpetual compliance.
Building on our insights
In our previous articles, DORA impact on financial firms: navigating the compliance landscape and DORA: How close are you to compliance?LinkedIn, we delved into the foundational aspects of DORA and provided strategic insights for compliance. This follow-up piece aims to further equip financial firms with actionable steps to implement DORA requirements effectively, focusing on the transformative potential of GenHive’s Intelligent Platform (IP) and the concept of perpetual compliance.
The DORA challenge: More than just a checkbox exercise
DORA isn’t merely another regulatory hurdle; it’s a paradigm shift in how financial firms approach digital resilience. The regulation demands a comprehensive framework that encompasses ICT risk management, incident reporting, digital operational resilience testing, and third-party risk management. For many firms, this means a complete overhaul of existing systems and processes.
Our Intelligent Platform (IP): Your beacon of hope
Amidst this regulatory storm, our solution shines through as a beacon of hope. This cutting-edge solution offers a holistic approach to DORA compliance, integrating advanced technologies like AI and machine learning to create a dynamic, responsive compliance ecosystem.
Key features of our Intelligent Platform (IP):
- Real-time risk assessment: Our solution continuously monitors and evaluates ICT risks, providing near real time insights on potential vulnerabilities.
- Automated incident reporting: When incidents occur, our Intelligent Platform (IP)automatically generates and submits reports in compliance with DORA’s strict notification requirement. (Not sure we’re using IP for incident reporting too?)
- Integrated testing framework: Our solution incorporates sophisticated testing tools that can simulate various cyber threats, helping firms meet DORA’s rigorous testing standards.
- Third-party risk management: Our solution offers comprehensive vendor management capabilities, ensuring that third-party risks are effectively monitored and mitigated.
The power of perpetual compliance
The most revolutionary aspect of our Intelligent Platform (IP) is its ability to facilitate perpetual compliance. Unlike traditional compliance approaches that often result in periodic scrambles to meet regulatory deadlines, our solution enables a state of continuous compliance.
How Perpetual Compliance Works:
- Continuous monitoring: Our solution constantly scans the regulatory landscape for changes and updates, ensuring that compliance measures evolve in real-time.
- Adaptive learning: Leveraging AI, our solution learns from each incident and test, continuously improving their risk detection and mitigation capabilities.
- Proactive remediation: Instead of waiting for audits to reveal gaps, our solution identifies and addresses compliance issues as they arise, monitoring artefact repositories and maintaining a state of constant readiness.
- Dynamic reporting: With our perpetual compliancesolution, generating compliance reports becomes a matter of accessing real-time data rather than a time-consuming data gathering exercise.
