DORA Compliance for Financial Entities: leveraging Sonar solutions to ensure code security by design

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is an EU regulation that aims to enhance IT security and operational resilience of financial institutions. Applicable from January 17, 2025, DORA mandates harmonized rules for operational resilience across financial entities and their third-party service providers. The act covers five main areas: ICT Risk Management, Digital Operational Resilience Testing, Reporting on ICT-related incidents, Information and intelligence sharing, and oversight of third-party providers. Financial institutions can leverage Sonar solutions to navigate the code quality aspects of DORA compliance and fortify their digital resilience and security by integrating code quality and security into the earliest stages of software development.
