🎧 In this third part, learn about DORA’s requirements for risk management.
Listen now:
In the third episode of our podcast series ‘Alles Legal – Fintech-Recht kompakt’, Josefine Spengler, lawyer at Annerton, talks to host Dana Wondra from Payment & Banking about a key innovation in financial supervisory law: What does DORA require in terms of ICT risk management – and why is digital resilience now a top priority?
🔍 What you’ll learn
A paradigm shift in risk management
Moving away from pure IT security towards integrated, proactive risk management. Risks need to be identified, assessed, managed and documented at an early stage. The crisis resilience of a company is also coming into focus.
ICT risks as a management task
DORA makes management the central authority in the area of digital resilience. It is responsible for strategy, resources, processes and communication – including regular training in IT risks.
Pragmatic implementation in the company
Josefine Spengler shows how DORA requirements can be implemented with structure and a sense of proportion: through clear responsibilities, uniform templates and, where necessary, targeted outsourcing. Even smaller institutions can find practical ways to effectively meet the requirements.
