The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a European regulation that aims to ensure that financial organisations improve the controls of their IT risks and thus become more resilient against cyber threats. The regulation focuses on refining risk management, IT incident management, testing, supervision of critical IT services providers, and the element of governance and organization.
After careful consideration, Exact believes that she is an ICT service provider supporting non-critical and important functions. Exact has created this specific DORA page to inform her customers who are financial entities and fall under the scope of DORA. Exact also prepared a standard DORA amendment to your Exact agreement. Please contact your account manager or support if you want to receive this Exact DORA Amendment.
