DORA in practice – from regulation to real governance
DORA requires financial entities to manage digital risks in a structured, continuous, and evidence-based manner. It's not enough to merely have policies, documents, and checklists in place. Organizations must also be able to demonstrate how risks, controls, suppliers, and digital resilience are managed in practice.
Gain a better overview
A common challenge is that DORA quickly becomes a separate compliance project, detached from regular operations. Information often ends up in spreadsheets, documents, and manual reports, making it difficult to see how the regulations connect with actual processes, systems, suppliers, responsible individuals, and implemented controls. DirSys is designed to tie these elements together into a unified governance model. Instead of starting with a static checklist, DirSys is based on the business's actual structure: processes, systems, services, data sets, suppliers, responsibilities, risks, and actions.
A solution to grow with
The foundation of the solution is DirSys Core. This is the part of the platform where organizations establish their governance, manage control plans, document risks, follow up on actions, and gather evidence. This approach allows DORA requirements to be directly linked to the parts of the business that are actually impacted.
Full control
To ensure that DORA compliance isn't solely based on self-assessment, DirSys can be complemented with SecurityHub.
SecurityHub is a technical verification feature. It can check selected areas against actual data, such as users, permissions, identities, and system access. This makes it possible to see the actual state of the organization's technical environments.
Build your Security Brand
Trust Center is used for controlled transparency. This means that the organization can share selected parts of its documentation, control status, evidence, and supplier follow-up with, for example, customers, auditors, partners, or other stakeholders.
This is particularly relevant as DORA sets clear requirements for the follow-up of ICT providers and third-party risks.
Together, the components create a cohesive model for DORA
The result is that DORA can be managed as an integrated part of the organization's ongoing work with risk, security, supplier governance, and digital resilience; not as a separate spreadsheet or an isolated compliance exercise.
