Description
The EU Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) reshapes how financial entities and their critical ICT service providers manage ICT risk, cyber security, and operational resilience. This course gives you a practical, technical, and compliance‑focused roadmap to understand DORA and apply it in real organizations.
Designed for mixed audiences across IT, cyber security, risk, compliance, and management, the course explains DORA's regulatory context, core Articles, and RTS/ITS themes, then translates them into clear design, implementation, and governance steps.

- Explain DORA's purpose, scope, and key Requirements in plain language to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
- Map DORA obligations to existing frameworks such as NIS2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and internal ICT risk and security practices.
- Design DORA‑aligned governance and risk management structures, including roles, responsibilities, and risk appetite.
- Implement ICT security and resilience controls that meet DORA expectations across infrastructure, applications, and cloud.
