End-to-end DORA compliance, step by step

Under the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), all financial sector companies and their service providers must not only ensure top-level cybersecurity but also be able to maintain business continuity even during cyberattacks, IT disruptions or other critical threats. MDP CLOUD helps financial institutions meet every DORA requirement using advanced technology, process automation and thorough risk management documentation. Our goal is not only to deploy the necessary technical measures but also to build a robust, tested and auditable digital resilience framework that meets DORA standards and keeps operations reliable under the most demanding conditions.

Device and system security

Device and IT system security under DORA

Under the DORA regulation, financial sector organisations must ensure that all devices and IT systems are protected against cyberattacks, vulnerabilities and operational disruptions.
MDP CLOUD deploys advanced technologies and processes that keep systems continuously secure and aligned with DORA standards:

  • MDP CLOUD uses advanced EDR/XDR solutions (Bitdefender, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike) for real-time threat detection, isolation and response.

  • We automate OS and application updates with the MDPCLOUD RMM platform, providing continuous protection against known vulnerabilities.

  • We implement USB, application and system change control (Application Control, Device Control) to prevent unauthorised access and data leakage.

  • We carry out regular vulnerability analysis and remediation, and monitor device health, performance and activity history through a centralised security management platform.

  • Vulnerability analysis is a continuous testing procedure for devices and systems with automatic remediation of gaps.

We prepare all the documentation required for DORA compliance, from A to Z
