DORA is the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act for the financial sector. It has been mandatory since 17 January 2025 and requires banks, fintechs, insurers, payment companies, and others to prevent ICT disruptions, detect them quickly, report to the regulator, and recover.
Who needs this: virtually all regulated financial entities in the EU and their critical ICT providers. In some interpretations, crypto services are also in scope if they fall under the list of financial entities in Article 2(1).
We support DORA programs in English/German/French upon request
🔴 Do auditors ask for resilience evidence you cannot produce on demand?
We deliver centralized logs/metrics and audit-ready reports.
🔴 Do incidents turn chaotic because roles and playbooks are unclear?
We define IR roles, run tabletop drills and capture outcomes.
🔴 Do you have critical systems mapped or just a spreadsheet?
We inventory systems, risks and dependencies with ownership.
🔴 Are you preparing for DORA with slide decks instead of measurable controls?
We deploy controls, tests and reports that stand up to audits.
🔴 When a real incident hits, does your plan survive the first hour?
ADG DORA Resilience Sprint delivers asset inventory, centralized logs and metrics, incident runbooks, tabletop and chaos tests, backup and DR drills, plus an auditor-ready report.
In 6-8 weeks you move from promises to operational proof.
🔸 Audit-ready evidence for DORA. 🔸 Tested IR plan and faster response. 🔸 Centralized logs/metrics with ownership. 🔸 Proven backup/DR with measured RTO/RPO. 🔸 Fewer escalations, clearer decisions. 🔸 Board and regulator confidence.
Are systems and owners unclear across teams? We build a current, owned inventory with risk tags.
Are logs scattered and unverifiable? We centralize, secure and retain with evidence trails.
Do people improvise during incidents? We codify roles, bridges and decision points.
Have you tested the plan beyond theory? We simulate failure and record corrective actions.
Are backups untested or slow to restore? We run restores, measure RTO/RPO and fix gaps.
Do you lack structured proof for auditors? We produce a concise evidence report.
Map critical systems and current signals in a day or two. Prioritize gaps that block auditors or blow SLOs.
Evidence plan
Decide minimal logs, metrics and drills to satisfy DORA. Focus on verifiable controls, not binders.
Implement
Centralize logs, wire metrics, lock access, codify IR runbooks, and validate backups with real restores.
Break it safely
Tabletop and chaos to prove controls work. Capture fixes as PRs and config, not meeting notes.
Prove it
Short, factual evidence pack with links to systems. Anyone can rerun tests without us.
Handover
Name owners, rotate keys, schedule simple recurring checks.
Care plan (optional)
Quarterly drills, drift watch, quick updates when infra changes.
Documentation & Reporting (optional)
We produce lean, engineer-first artifacts that can scale to audit grade if needed - diagrams, IaC refs, runbooks, SLO dashboards, and change logs. Evidence packs are versioned and reproducible: links point to live systems or CI exports, not slides. Scope is tailored per client - from a 1-page ops sheet to a full compliance bundle with test replays and data lineage. If you prefer, we keep it minimal and focus on code and metrics only.
