The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a comprehensive program designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and practical skills required to comply with the European Union’s DORA framework. This certification focuses on enhancing digital operational resilience by addressing critical areas such as ICT risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing, third-party oversight, and regulatory alignment. Tailored for compliance officers, risk managers, ICT professionals, and financial sector leaders, the course provides actionable insights and real-world applications to ensure regulatory compliance and operational readiness.


The course begins with What is DORA?, covering its purpose, scope, and the vital role of technology in operational resilience. Participants will explore Objectives and Importance of DORA in Financial Systems, including governance frameworks, risk management protocols, and incident reporting obligations.

A significant portion of the course focuses on Digital Operational Resilience Testing, including Types of Testing (e.g., Vulnerability Assessment, Penetration Testing), Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) Requirements, and Interpreting Results and Taking Corrective Actions to drive improvements. Oversight of Third-Party ICT Providers is another crucial area, with discussions on Critical Third-Party Relationships Under DORA, Risk Assessments for ICT Providers, and Contracts and Compliance Monitoring. The DORA Implementation Roadmap module offers step-by-step guidance on Setting Up Governance Structures, Resource Allocation for Compliance, and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Measuring Compliance.


The course also addresses Challenges and Solutions in Implementing DORA, presenting Common Challenges in Meeting DORA Requirements and industry case studies to illustrate Practical Solutions for Overcoming Challenges.
