DORA: RTS & ITS

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a key regulatory framework introduced by the European Union to strengthen the IT security and operational resilience of financial entities. As part of its structure, DORA emphasizes critical performance areas like RTS (Regulatory Technical Standards) and ITS (Implementing Technical Standards), which provide detailed guidance on compliance requirements. In this blog post, we’ve compiled a list of official RTS and ITS links to help financial institutions, ICT providers, and other stakeholders navigate the regulatory landscape more efficiently. Whether you’re preparing for audits or building a DORA-compliant framework, these resources are essential for staying aligned with EU expectations.
