DORA: A Compliance Headache or a Resilience Game-Change – What Financial Entities Must Do Now

DORA is here, and with it comes a new challenge for financial institutions: how to tackle third-party risk and systemic vulnerabilities before they become crises. Static risk assessments won’t cut it—hidden ICT dependencies and concentration risks are lurking in your supply chain. This session will explore real-world cases of financial entities uncovering critical blind spots and reveal how a network-driven approach to risk management can turn compliance into true resilience.

Up for discussion will be:

How can financial institutions move beyond a ‘tick-box’ compliance approach to DORA and build true operational resilience?

Why do traditional third-party risk management methods fail to identify systemic risks, and what alternative approaches can help uncover hidden vulnerabilities?

How can the financial sector foster greater collaboration and intelligence-sharing to strengthen resilience across the entire supply chain?

And key takeaways will include

– Beyond Compliance: Why meeting DORA’s requirements isn’t enough—true resilience comes from proactively managing third-party and systemic risks.
– Hidden Supply Chain Risks: How financial institutions are uncovering critical ICT dependencies and concentration risks that could disrupt entire sectors.
– Rethinking Risk Management: Why static risk assessments fall short and how a network-driven, real-time approach can provide a clearer, more actionable picture.
– Collaborative Defence: The power of intelligence-sharing and collective risk management in strengthening the financial sector’s overall resilience.
– Practical Steps Forward: What financial entities can do right now to enhance their supply chain security and stay ahead in an evolving regulatory landscape.
