Your 2026 guide to complying with Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)

As financial entities across the EU face escalating ICT disruptions and a single, directly applicable rulebook, institutions supervised under Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 must move beyond fragmented resilience practices and adopt structured, risk-based ICT controls. DORA establishes a comprehensive framework governing ICT risk management, incident classification and reporting, digital operational resilience testing, third-party risk governance, and information sharing across roughly twenty categories of regulated financial entity.

Applicable directly in all 27 member states since January 17, 2025, the regulation places personal accountability on the management body and demands demonstrable risk frameworks, continuous monitoring, strong access controls, and well-defined incident management processes with strict reporting deadlines. This guide breaks down the regulation chapter by chapter and outlines what your organization must implement to align with DORA's expectations, and how ManageEngine solutions can help streamline, operationalize, and strengthen compliance efficiently.
