DORA Compliance for Financial Services | Uptycs

Written by Uptycs Team | 10/29/24 4:26 AM

As the enforcement of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) approaches in January 2025, financial institutions across the EU face new challenges in ensuring their ICT infrastructure is both secure and compliant. DORA’s goal is to strengthen operational resilience and ICT risk management, placing increasing pressure on financial organizations to secure their cloud environments and meet stringent requirements.

At Uptycs, we provide a Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) that offers financial institutions comprehensive cloud security while aligning seamlessly with DORA’s compliance mandates. Trusted by leading financial organizations, Uptycs helps simplify the path to DORA compliance while fortifying your cloud infrastructure against evolving threats.

 

 

Our Key Solutions for Financial Services

We have developed a range of powerful tools specifically designed to meet the challenges posed by DORA:

1. Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)

DORA mandates comprehensive ICT risk management. Uptycs provides complete visibility across your cloud environment, detecting vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that may pose a compliance risk. With built-in frameworks for PCI-DSS, GDPR, and DORA, we automate security and compliance checks across hybrid infrastructures, ensuring you stay ahead of potential threats.

2. Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP)

To meet DORA’s operational resilience requirements, we offer real-time monitoring and runtime protection for cloud workloads. Our platform identifies and mitigates vulnerabilities in real-time, protecting your multi-cloud environments from potential threats and ensuring continuous compliance.

3. Incident Reporting & Response

DORA’s strict incident reporting guidelines require fast and accurate responses. Uptycs provides real-time telemetry, automated alerts, and forensic analysis to help financial institutions meet DORA’s stringent reporting timelines, reducing both regulatory risk and the impact of security incidents.

4. Third-Party Risk Management

DORA also extends compliance requirements to third-party ICT providers. Our third-party risk management capabilities include real-time monitoring of access and identity controls, ensuring external risks are kept at bay. We also track end-of-life (EOL) licenses to ensure third-party risks are properly managed, all in alignment with DORA’s standards.
