The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)

DORA is a regulatory framework that came into effect in January 2025, designed to strengthen the digital operational resilience of financial entities operating within the European Union (EU). 

DORA aims to mitigate risks related to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) by establishing a unified set of requirements for financial institutions — including banks, investment firms, payment service providers, and crypto asset service providers.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

Beyond operational disruptions and reputational damage, failing to comply with DORA  can result in severe financial penalties. Key enforcement measures include:

  • Financial penalties for Businesses:
    Up to 2% of total global annual revenue or €10 million, whichever is higher.

  • Fines for critical third-party providers:
    Up to 1% of average global daily turnover per day of non-compliance, for up to six months.

  • Personal liability for business leaders:
    Executives may face fines of up to €1 million for compliance failures within their organizations.

Crypto Businesses: Who Needs to Comply?

DORA applies to a broad range of financial entities, including crypto-asset service providers that are registered, operating, or serving customers within the EU. Examples include:

  • Centralized Exchanges (CEXs)

  • Crypto Lending/Borrowing Platforms

  • Token Issuers

  • NFT Marketplaces

  • Wallet Providers

  • Asset Custodians

 

  • Peer-to-Peer Trading Software Providers

 

  • Crypto Payment Processors

 

DORA Compliance Made Simple — Here's How We Support

Implement ICT Risk Management Framework

Hashlock helps develop a robust ICT risk management framework tailored to both Web2 and Web3 systems. Assess and secure all critical assets—servers, wallets, platforms, cloud services, dApps, and smart contracts—by enforcing best-practice controls and providing continuous risk assessment, threat monitoring, and team training.

Conduct Digital Operational Resilience Testing

Hashlock conducts comprehensive digital resilience testing across both Web2 and Web3 environments. This includes vulnerability assessments and in-depth resilience audits to identify security gaps, then perform penetration testing to simulate real-world attacks and evaluate system defenses, ensuring your systems meet DORA’s operational resilience standards.

Oversight Framework for Critical ICT Third-Party Providers

In line with DORA requirements, we implement industry best practices and strategic risk assessments to help projects establish a robust oversight framework for critical ICT third-party service providers. Our approach ensures full visibility, accountability, and control—enabling compliance while reducing operational and cybersecurity risks.

Documentation and Report Ready 

Hashlock maintains detailed records and reports of all compliance activities—from risk assessments and testing outcomes to incident response procedures. All documentation is prepared and delivered to projects, ensuring they are ready for submission when requested by DORA or other EU regulators.
