    Learn more about DORA

    DORA is a groundbreaking initiative by the European Union designed to bolster the financial sector's resilience against digital threats. It requires financial institutions to proactively establish and refine their strategies to withstand, address, and bounce back from incidents and threats related to information and communication technology (ICT).

    It establishes technical requirements for financial entities and ICT providers across five domains:

    • ICT risk management and governance
    • Incident reporting
    • Digital operational resilience testing
    • Information sharing
    • Third-party risk management

    The European Union introduced DORA to tackle the increasing dependency of the financial sector on digital technologies and the associated risks. It aims to harmonize ICT risk management practices across the EU, ensuring that financial entities are well-prepared to manage and swiftly recover from digital disruptions, thereby safeguarding the sector against the rising frequency and severity of cyber incidents.

    Atlassian's suite of tools, including Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket, support DORA compliance. They enhance incident management, documentation, and code security, streamlining risk management and compliance processes. These tools play a crucial role in promoting a culture of continuous improvement and resilience within financial organizations.

    Jira stands out for its customizable workflows, issue tracking, and project management features, making it a key player in incident management under DORA. It helps organizations to effectively track, manage, and report ICT-related issues, ensuring swift actions and compliance with regulatory mandates.

    Confluence is invaluable for DORA compliance, acting as a central hub for documentation. It ensures that all risk management strategies, policies, and procedures are well-documented, organized, and accessible, promoting better communication and compliance throughout the organisation.

    Bitbucket boosts DORA compliance through secure version control for coding projects and the integration of continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices. This is crucial for maintaining software development integrity and security, key components of ICT risk management under DORA.

    Eficode provides assessment and advisory services to help organizations gauge their DORA compliance level, identify non-compliance areas, and formulate concrete steps for improvement. This includes evaluating current ICT risk management practices and offering tailored recommendations.

    Eficode implements the integration of Atlassian tools with your IT infrastructure to be aligned with DORA compliance. This involves matching the tools’ functionalities with the regulatory requirements for risk management, incident reporting, and resilience testing, facilitating a compliant and efficient operational environment.

    Eficode’s comprehensive approach towards DORA compliance includes assessments, Atlassian tools integration, process enhancements, and ongoing support. This all-encompassing approach not only ensures compliance but also boosts operational resilience against ICT threats, enhancing overall business continuity and security.

    Risk management processes are the backbone of DORA compliance, focusing on the identification, assessment, and mitigation of ICT risks. Eficode assists organizations in developing effective risk management frameworks that comply with DORA, ensuring they are well-equipped to manage ICT disruptions and threats.

    Incident reporting is a critical aspect of DORA, requiring the prompt reporting of significant ICT-related incidents to regulators. Eficode aids organizations in setting up efficient incident reporting systems through Atlassian tools, ensuring timely compliance and enabling swift response and mitigation strategies.

    Digital operational resilience testing under DORA evaluates an organisation’s ability to endure ICT disruptions through various testing methodologies. Eficode supports financial entities in executing extensive resilience testing, ensuring systems are robust and recovery plans are effective in practice.

    Information sharing under DORA encourages collaboration and learning among financial entities about ICT risks and incidents. Eficode facilitates the establishment of platforms and processes for secure and efficient information exchange, boosting the industry’s collective resilience to digital threats.

    Managing third-party risk is crucial for DORA compliance, as financial organizations increasingly rely on external ICT services. Eficode aids in assessing and managing these risks, and validating that the third-party services comply with DORA's operational resilience standards.

    Organizations aiming for DORA compliance can consult Eficode for a comprehensive assessment of their practices against DORA requirements. Eficode will then outline a customized plan covering process improvements, tool integration, and ongoing support to ensure compliance and enhance digital operational resilience.
