What you'll learn

PECB Titanium Partner Firebrand

Join our accelerated 3-day PECB DORA Lead Manager course and elevate your expertise in establishing, implementing, and managing an ICT risk management framework based on DORA requirements. Dive into the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), the cornerstone of the financial sector's response to ICT-related challenges. Enacted by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union, DORA aims to standardize and streamline regulations governing ICT risk management across the EU. Our certification course is your guide through DORA's requirements, emphasizing the principle of proportionality tailored to your organization's needs. Master essential skills to ensure your entity can withstand, respond to, and recover from all ICT challenges effectively.

Discover the importance of DORA:

Starting January 17, 2025, financial entities must meet DORA requirements. Failure to comply can lead to hefty penalties, highlighting the EU's emphasis on digital operational resilience. Penalties vary but aim to deter future breaches effectively.

Organizations need to continuously refine their digital resilience strategies to stay ahead in today's fast-paced landscape. This means teamwork across all organizational levels, including executives, staff, and external partners. Stay updated and collaborate with regulators to adapt to evolving technologies and threats.

The course covers the five key mandates of DORA for financial entities' ICT risk management:

  • Establishing and maintaining an effective ICT risk management framework.
  • Implementing incident management and reporting frameworks.
  • Conducting regular digital resilience testing, including vulnerability assessments and penetration testing.
  • Managing third-party ICT risks with oversight of critical providers.
  • Encouraging information sharing for collective defence against ICT threats.

Throughout this intensive 3-day program, you will:

  • Understand DORA's regulatory requirements, focusing on ICT risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing, and third-party risk.
  • Implement strategies to enhance digital resilience and mitigate ICT risks in financial institutions, aligning with DORA and industry standards.
  • Identify, analyze, and address relevant ICT risks.
  • Develop and maintain robust ICT risk management frameworks and response plans.
  • Foster stakeholder collaboration for ongoing DORA compliance.
  • Utilize industry-standard tools to monitor and manage ICT risks, improving overall security.

Upon completion, you'll sit the PECB exam and earn your PECB DORA Lead Manager certification. Our Lecture | Lab | Review methodology ensures you get certified at twice the speed of traditional training, with access to courseware, certified instructors, and a distraction-free environment.
