Comparisons anchored on DORA, Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 on digital operational resilience for the financial sector: against ISO 27001 and the GDPR.
For banks, insurers, payment and crypto firms that already hold an ISO/IEC 27001 certificate: how far an ISMS gets you toward DORA. Covers the technical standards and their fixed frequencies (yearly reviews, weekly vulnerability scanning, TLPT every three years for identified entities), the register of information, supervision without certification, and what to add on top of an ISMS.
For financial entities in the EU: DORA governs ICT risk, major ICT incident reporting and ICT providers, the GDPR governs personal data. Compares DORA initial, intermediate and final incident reports with the GDPR 72-hour breach notice, DORA Article 30 provider contracts with GDPR Article 28 processor terms, penalties, and the proposed single reporting entry point.
For banks, insurers and investment firms with EU operations that already run a NIST CSF program: DORA is binding EU law with supervisory enforcement, the CSF a voluntary outcomes framework. Covers where CSF functions line up with DORA chapters, what DORA adds (major incident reporting, register of information, TLPT), the CRI Profile mapping and how to reuse CSF work.
For financial entities whose ICT incident also involves personal data: DORA requires major ICT-related incident reports to the financial supervisor in three stages, the GDPR a personal data breach notice to the data protection authority within 72 hours. Compares triggers, clocks, recipients and content, and the proposed single entry point.
