The final pillar of DORA has quietly locked into place – and with it, the entire cybersecurity playbook for financial entities operating in the EU has been rewritten.
What makes this different?
Unlike previous frameworks, DORA doesn’t suggest. It mandates. The compliance clock is ticking – full implementation required by January 17, 2025.
Here’s the twist that’s catching even mature teams off guard:
DORA’s final standards don’t just enforce stronger internal controls. They push financial institutions to scrutinize every digital service dependency – including vendors, cloud providers, and third-party SaaS platforms.
It’s no longer just about preventing attacks. It’s about proving, documenting, and stress-testing operational resilience end-to-end.
That means:
- Real-time visibility across your full attack surface
- Continuous stress testing of your entire ICT stack
- Targeted simulations against human and third-party vulnerabilities
- Board-level accountability for digital risk governance
For many, this final leg of DORA reveals the real elephant in the room – the human attack surface.
Social engineering isn’t mentioned directly – but it’s the shadow that hangs over every line of the new framework.
What happens when a deepfake voice targets your finance lead?
Or a credential-stuffing campaign rides through your cloud vendor?
The answer can’t be more awareness emails or annual training.
It requires continuous simulation, tailored remediation, and executive visibility.
