The Regulation

DORA Is in Force. The Clock Is Running.

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) has been fully enforceable across EU financial entities since January 17, 2025. Banks, insurers, investment firms, FinTechs, and their ICT service providers must now demonstrate robust ICT risk management, incident classification and reporting, resilience testing, and third-party ICT risk oversight, with management-level accountability and significant financial penalties for non-compliance.

DORA's requirements span five pillars: ICT Risk Management, ICT Incident Reporting, Digital Operational Resilience Testing, ICT Third-Party Risk, and Information Sharing. Cynet delivers technical capabilities across all five.

DORA's Five Pillars, Supported

Cynet delivers documented technical capabilities to support all five DORA domains, enabling financial institutions to demonstrate continuous operational resilience to competent authorities.

How Cynet Helps

DORA Requirements Mapping

Cynet's unified, AI-powered platform with built-in 24×7 MDR (CyOps) directly supports the technical security controls underpinning DORA compliance — from real-time ICT risk monitoring to incident documentation and third-party SaaS security.

ICT RISK ICT Risk Management — Identify, protect, detect, respond, recover (Art. 5–16) ▾

Art. 5–16 · Risk Identification · Asset Inventory · Configuration Management

Cynet delivers endpoint vulnerability scanning, risk scoring, and XDR threat detection across endpoints, network, identity, and cloud. SSPM and CSPM inventories cloud and SaaS assets, monitors configuration drift, and flags policy violations. Automated response playbooks reduce mean time to respond from hours to seconds.

ICT INCIDENTS ICT Incident Reporting — Classify and report major ICT incidents (Art. 19–20) ▾

Art. 19–20 · Major Incident Classification · Incident Register · Root Cause Analysis

Cynet's automated incident documentation — attack timelines, affected assets, business impact assessments — provides the structured evidence required for DORA major incident reports. Cynet SIEM and CLM maintain a comprehensive incident register with full attack timelines, containment actions, and remediation outcomes.

RESILIENCE Digital Operational Resilience Testing — Annual testing; TLPT for significant entities (Art. 24–27) ▾

Art. 24–27 · Resilience Testing · TLPT · Vulnerability Assessment

Cynet's 100% Detection, Protection, and Technique-level Coverage in 2025 MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations demonstrates continuous detection resilience. CyOps threat hunting and vulnerability scanning support formal resilience testing evidence requirements.

THIRD-PARTY ICT Third-Party Risk — Monitor ICT service provider security posture (Art. 28–44) ▾

Art. 28–44 · Supply Chain Monitoring · SaaS & Cloud Security · Vendor Due Diligence

Cynet SSPM and CSPM monitors third-party SaaS and cloud environments for security risks. Cynet's own platform operates under documented security commitments, supporting supply chain due diligence requirements for ICT service providers.

Key Capabilities

What Cynet Delivers for DORA Readiness

XDR with Automated Response

Detect and contain ICT incidents automatically, reducing mean time to respond from hours to seconds and supporting DORA's incident handling requirements.

Incident Documentation & Timelines

Every incident automatically generates a complete timeline, affected asset inventory, and containment action record — the structured evidence DORA Articles 19–20 require for major incident reporting.

SIEM & Centralized Log Management

Comprehensive incident register with full audit trails, root cause documentation, and retention aligned to DORA's recordkeeping requirements.

Vulnerability Management

Endpoint CVE scanning and risk-ranked remediation tracking, supporting DORA's requirement for ongoing ICT risk identification and mitigation.

SSPM and CSPM

Monitor third-party SaaS and cloud environments for security risks, supporting DORA's ICT third-party risk requirements without additional tools.

CyOps MDR

24×7 expert monitoring, incident classification, and threat hunting from Cynet's built-in SOC — providing the continuous operational resilience posture DORA demands.

Why Cynet

One Natively-Built Platform. Full DORA Technical Coverage.

DORA requires cross-domain visibility; endpoints, network, identity, cloud. Cynet supports all four natively, without integration projects.
Automated incident documentation reduces the burden of DORA's incident reporting requirements from a manual exercise to an automated output.
CyOps MDR provides the 24×7 expert monitoring and incident classification that satisfies DORA's operational resilience expectations without scaling internal headcount.
100% Detection, Protection, and Technique-level Coverage in 2025 MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations provides auditable evidence of detection effectiveness.
Single-platform architecture simplifies ICT risk management documentation. One system to audit, one vendor to assess.
