What is DORA and does it apply to my financial organization?

DORA stands for Digital Operational Resilience Act and is European legislation that applies to financial institutions such as banks, insurers, pension funds and financial advisory firms from January 2025. DORA sets strict requirements for IT risk management, incident reporting and digital resilience testing. ICT Teamwork helps organizations become DORA-compliant.

How does ICT Teamwork ensure DORA compliance?

We translate DORA requirements into concrete measures within your IT environment. This includes proactive monitoring, strict access controls, encrypted data storage, detailed logging and a solid disaster recovery plan. This ensures you are always audit-ready and meet the required operational resilience.

Is the cloud safe for sensitive financial data?

Yes, provided it is correctly configured. We provide secure cloud environments with encryption, strict access management and compliance controls. Our solutions meet the highest security standards for the financial sector, including GDPR and ISO 27001.

What is the difference between NIS2 and DORA?

NIS2 is a general European directive on cybersecurity that applies to a wide range of essential and important entities. DORA is specifically aimed at the financial sector and sets additional, sector-specific requirements for digital operational resilience, IT risk management and incident reporting.

IT for the
financial sectorfinancial sector

IT finance demands more than a working environment. Regulators are watching, clients expect continuity, and data must be demonstrably secure. We set up your IT so that compliance, risk management and data security are a given — not a recurring concern.

The daily IT challenges of financial institutions

Every financial organization faces the same bottlenecks: outdated systems that no longer align with new legislation, audits that take more time than they should, and the feeling that your IT is more of a risk than a foundation within IT finance.

IT finance compliance: regulation and accountability for financial institutions

Strict regulation and accountability

In the financial sector, your IT environment must demonstrably comply with laws and regulations such as DORA and GDPR, with clear reporting and controls.

IT finance security: access management and data protection for financial organizations

Access to sensitive financial data

It is not always clear who has access to systems and customer data, even though data security and access management are crucial within IT finance.

IT finance continuity: system availability and disaster recovery for finance

System dependency and business continuity

When systems fail, it directly impacts financial processes, customer trust and operational continuity.

IT finance monitoring: proactive supervision and incident detection for the financial sector

Monitoring, supervision and incident response

Security is often in place, but without active supervision and monitoring, anomalies and risks within IT finance remain unnoticed.

No more IT worries in finance: ICT Teamwork makes the difference for you

As a financial service provider, you are under double pressure: cybercriminals on one side, regulators on the other. We ensure you don't have to choose between them. With proactive security, continuous availability and an IT environment that complies with financial regulations, you are always audit-ready and maintain your clients' trust.

IT finance specialist ICT Teamwork provides secure IT solutions for banks, insurers and financial institutions

IT solutions for the financial sector

Our services are built for organizations where security, compliance and continuity are non-negotiable. Not separate tools, but one cohesive IT finance environment.

Secure cloud environments

Cloud environments with access management, encryption and secure storage configured as standard. Sensitive data remains protected, even during growth or staff changes.

24/7 monitoring

We continuously monitor your systems and intervene as soon as something deviates, often before you or your customers notice.

Audit-ready

An IT environment you can present to regulators at any time. Documentation, logging and controls are in order, not just on audit day.

Compliance management

We translate DORA, GDPR and other directives into concrete measures that fit your daily work — not standalone advisory reports that end up in a drawer.

Data encryption

All sensitive data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Key management is separated from access, as required by the financial sector.

Proactive support

We don't wait for things to break. Our team actively tracks updates, patches and vulnerabilities so you can focus on your clients.

Security and compliance as an IT standard in finance

In the financial sector, security cannot be a separate track that comes out once a year. We set up your IT so that compliance, risk management and security are part of your work from day one.

Secure access, clear permission structures, encrypted data and continuous monitoring form one integrated whole, aligned with DORA, NIS2 and GDPR. With fixed procedures and demonstrable controls, an audit becomes a formality instead of a week of stress within your IT finance environment.

IT standards and legislation you must comply with

Financial organizations operate under permanent supervision: DNB, AFM and European regulators look not only at whether your IT works, but also whether you can prove it. Three frameworks determine the rules of the game.

DORA sets requirements for operational resilience: how well can you absorb and recover from incidents? NIS2 extends information security requirements to a broader part of the financial sector. GDPR governs how you handle personal data, with direct consequences for client data and logging.

We translate these directives into concrete measures, fixed procedures and demonstrable controls. This makes compliance a fixed part of daily work, rather than a file that is only opened for the audit. Our IT finance approach ensures standards live within your infrastructure.
