NIS2 and DORA Compliance FAQs
Expert Insights on Navigating New Regulations
NIS2 & DORA
DSCVR ensures compliance by evaluating your current practices, recommending strategies to meet legal requirements, and assisting with the implementation of these strategies.
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a regulatory framework designed to ensure that the financial sector in the European Union maintains robust digital operational resilience. It affects a wide range of financial entities including banks, insurance companies, investment firms, and any service providers to these entities. DSCVR helps these businesses understand and implement the necessary requirements to comply with DORA, ensuring their digital operations are resilient against disruptions.
Compliance with DORA is crucial because it ensures your business can effectively anticipate, withstand, and recover from operational disruptions related to ICT (Information and Communication Technology) systems. By complying with DORA, you not only meet regulatory requirements but also protect your business against significant operational and reputational damage. DSCVR can guide your organization through the compliance process, enhancing your digital resilience and safeguarding your critical operations.
DORA's key requirements include establishing a robust digital risk management framework, conducting regular testing to assess resilience, managing ICT third-party risks, and implementing comprehensive incident reporting mechanisms. DSCVR supports financial entities by developing tailored strategies and solutions that meet these requirements, focusing on enhancing digital resilience and operational integrity.
DSCVR assists in achieving DORA compliance by providing expert consultancy and implementation support. This includes risk assessment, policy development, incident response planning, and third-party risk management tailored specifically to the needs of the financial sector. Our approach ensures that your digital operational resilience strategies are effective, efficient, and fully compliant with DORA regulations.
NIS2 updates the original Network and Information Systems (NIS) Directive by broadening the range of sectors affected, imposing stricter security requirements, and enhancing obligations for incident response. It extends to digital service providers and essential services like energy, transport, health, and digital infrastructure. DSCVR helps organizations understand these updates and integrate the new requirements into their cybersecurity strategies.
NIS2 increases your organization's cybersecurity obligations by requiring more rigorous security measures, enhanced incident reporting, and comprehensive risk management practices. This includes mandatory risk assessments and the need to report serious cyber incidents to national authorities. DSCVR can help streamline these processes, ensuring that your security measures and protocols are up to date and compliant with NIS2.
Non-compliance with NIS2 can result in significant penalties, including hefty fines based on a percentage of your global turnover. These sanctions are designed to enforce compliance and ensure that cybersecurity measures are taken seriously. DSCVR can help you avoid these penalties by ensuring that your cybersecurity practices meet NIS2 standards, providing peace of mind and financial security.
DSCVR supports organizations in complying with NIS2 by offering customized services that include cybersecurity audits, compliance assessments, and the development of incident response strategies. We also provide ongoing support and training to ensure that your team is equipped to maintain compliance with NIS2 requirements effectively.
