The five pillars are ICT risk management, ICT incident management, digital operational resilience testing, ICT third-party risk management, and information sharing.
DORA structures digital operational resilience around five interconnected pillars that together define how financial entities manage ICT-related risks.The first pillar is ICT risk management. Organizations must identify, assess, and manage risks related to information and communication technologies that support critical functions.The second pillar is ICT-related incident management and reporting. This includes detecting incidents, responding effectively, and reporting significant incidents to competent authorities.The third pillar is digital operational resilience testing. Entities are required to test their ability to withstand disruptions through defined testing activities.The fourth pillar is ICT third-party risk management. Organizations must manage risks arising from external ICT service providers, including oversight and contractual controls.The fifth pillar is information and intelligence sharing. This supports collective resilience by enabling organizations to share threat and incident information.
Organizations often focus heavily on incident response but underestimate testing and third-party risk management.Balanced attention across all pillars is essential for compliance.
“The pillars define a complete resilience lifecycle.”
