DORA the Enforcer - Ctrl Alt Lead podcast
¡Vámonos! Here’s how to prepare for the EU’s new regulation
With just under two weeks to go before a sweeping new cyber regulation comes into force, Ctrl Alt Lead brings IT leaders everything they need to know on how to prepare.
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) will take effect across the EU on 17th January - marking a shift in how financial services firms and their suppliers manage IT risk.
In the latest episode of the Ctrl Alt Lead podcast, legal and AI expert Jonathan Armstrong joins host Tom Allen to unpack what DORA means for IT leaders, and how organisations can prepare.
While DORA is aimed at financial services, it also impacts critical suppliers like IT and tech firms, making compliance essential for all companies in the supply chain.
Jonathan highlights challenges IT leaders will need to face, such as varied rules across member states and the complexity of supplier relationships. Suppliers must be ready for audits, stricter contracts and detailed reporting obligations.
Like the GDPR, just because DORA is an EU rule doesn’t make UK firms exempt. Anyone working across borders will need to comply with the new rules – and, for those without EU clients, an equivalent UK regulation takes effect on 31st March.
Jonathan discusses where CIOs and other leaders should focus their efforts, and the risks they run if they don’t.
DORA isn't just about compliance – it's an opportunity to strengthen resilience in an interconnected tech landscape. Tune into the episode for insights on navigating these changes.
