DORA, NIS2, and adversaries that know your value.
European financial institutions face the most demanding regulatory environment in any sector — and the most motivated threat actors. DORA compliance, operational resilience testing, and 24/7 monitoring for banks, insurers, and fintech.
Every major EU financial regulation — covered.
DORA
Digital Operational Resilience Act — mandatory from Jan 2025 for financial entities. ICT risk management, testing, incident reporting, third-party risk.
NIS2
Financial sector entities classified as essential — enhanced obligations for risk management, supply chain security, and incident notification.
PCI-DSS v4.0
Updated requirements for payment card data environments, with stricter authentication and monitoring obligations.
EBA Guidelines
European Banking Authority ICT risk management and outsourcing guidelines for credit institutions and investment firms.
What financial sector attackers actually do.
- 01
Sophisticated threat actors
Financial organisations face nation-state actors and organised criminal groups with dedicated capabilities. Standard perimeter security is not enough. Adversary simulation is.
- 02
Third-party and supply chain risk
DORA mandates ICT third-party risk management. Your exposure includes every vendor, SaaS platform, and technology partner in your supply chain.
- 03
Insider threats and privilege abuse
Access to financial systems creates significant insider risk. Monitoring for anomalous privileged access and lateral movement is essential — and required under DORA.
- 04
Operational resilience requirements
DORA's resilience testing programme requires threat-led penetration testing (TLPT) for significant institutions. We hold TIBER-EU framework experience.
