ProcessUnity for Cybersecurity Risk Management
Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)
ProcessUnity for the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) helps your organization create a resilient cybersecurity posture internally and externally, enabling you to establish a cyber risk management framework, maintain oversight of your third-party relationships and rapidly respond to ICT (Information and Communication Technology)-related incidents.
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) requires European financial services organizations to adopt cybersecurity policies and controls to protect against ICT-related incidents and threats. The objective of the new regulation is to boost operational resilience throughout the financial services sector, meaning that these obligations apply to internal operations and also extend to an organization’s third parties. To prepare for DORA, all impacted firms and their suppliers will need to ensure that they can withstand, respond to and recover from all types of ICT-related disruptions.
ProcessUnity combines three offerings in one comprehensive solution designed to help you meet DORA obligations. The table below outlines the core DORA components and how ProcessUnity streamlines your adherence to those requirements.

The solution is pre-loaded with DORA regulatory content that can be easily added into your existing control framework. |
| Digital Operation Resiliency Testing | Perform regularly scheduled assessments against ICT assets to determine risk ratings and maturity ratings against provisions in the DORA controls framework including mandatory reporting outputs | ProcessUnity streamlines testing activities via asset questionnaires to determine appropriate testing scope, automated workflows and notifications to asset owners, instructions on how maturity ratings/evidence should be collected, and out of the box reporting on testing output by asset/risk/provision/policy/etc. |
