The European Union's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a significant shift in how financial organizations approach Information and Communication Technology (ICT) security and operational resilience. DORA establishes a comprehensive framework for risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing, and third-party oversight, which applies to EU financial organizations but has similar frameworks emerging worldwide. Modern identity security platforms can provide the capabilities needed to meet DORA's requirements while strengthening overall security posture. The act mandates four key pillars of compliance: ICT risk management and governance, incident reporting and classification, digital operational resilience testing, and third-party risk management and oversight. Identity security is at the core of operational resilience and effective ICT risk management, involving ensuring authorized individuals access sensitive systems and data, preventing unauthorized access that could lead to security breaches. Modern identity platforms like Veza approach DORA compliance through several key capabilities, including Access Intelligence, Risk Management Through Continuous Monitoring, Automated Governance in Practice, and Third-Party Risk Management. Implementing identity security for DORA compliance requires a strategic approach that balances immediate compliance needs with long-term operational resilience goals, involving discovery and assessment, phased implementation, integration and automation, and measuring success and maintaining compliance. The future of DORA compliance lies in selecting the right identity security platform that provides visibility, automated governance, and sophisticated risk management capabilities, while helping organizations manage access risks, improve operational efficiency, and maintain strong security measures beyond compliance.
