The three European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA – the ESAs) published today the second batch of policy products under the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). This batch consists of four final draft regulatory technical standards (RTS), one set of Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) and 2 guidelines, all of which aim at enhancing the digital operational resilience of the EU’s financial sector.
The package focuses on the reporting framework for ICT-related incidents (reporting clarity, templates) and threat-led penetration testing while also introducing some requirements on the design of the oversight framework, which enhance the digital operational resilience of the EU financial sector, thus also ensuring continuous and uninterrupted provision of financial services to customers and safety of their data.
The ESAs are publishing the following final draft technical standards:
RTS and ITS on the content, format, templates and timelines for reporting major ICT-related incidents and significant cyber threats;
RTS on the harmonisation of conditions enabling the conduct of the oversight activities;
RTS specifying the criteria for determining the composition of the joint examination team (JET); and
RTS on threat-led penetration testing (TLPT).
