DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) is European regulation that took effect in January 2025 and requires the entire financial services sector in the European Union — banks, insurance, investment management, and fintech — to ensure digital operational resilience.
The regulation focuses on ICT (information and communication technology) risk management, response and recovery mechanisms, resilience testing, reporting on significant incidents and managing critical third-party suppliers (CTPPs).
In Israel, DORA doesn't apply directly, but it's relevant for Israeli fintech/finance companies operating in the European market or serving clients there — and aligns with Bank of Israel guidelines for computing risk management.
