DORA is an EU regulation, directly applicable in every member state, that requires financial entities to withstand, respond to and recover from ICT disruption — and to manage the risk created by their technology providers.
You may not be a regulated EU entity yourself, but if you sell software, cloud, data or managed services to one, your customer must assess you, put specific clauses in your contract, record you in its register of information, and monitor you over time. Being ready for that scrutiny is now a condition of winning and keeping EU financial-services business.
Governance, a documented ICT risk framework, protection, detection, response and recovery.

A risk-based testing programme, including threat-led penetration testing for significant entities.

DORA directly regulates EU financial entities. US companies are affected when they provide ICT services to those entities: your customers must apply DORA requirements to you through due diligence and contract terms, and a small number of providers may be designated as critical ICT third-party providers subject to direct EU oversight.
