  • Incident Reporting: While reporting incidents may initially seem burdensome, it provides valuable insights into industry-wide risks. It also prompts organizations to reevaluate their risk landscapes, ultimately improving overall cybersecurity hygiene.

  • Accountability: DORA holds individuals and organizations accountable, making compliance more personal and consequential. This shift towards personal responsibility encourages decision-makers to thoroughly consider the implications of their actions.

  • Planned Testing: DORA requires planned systematic testing, including attack simulations, with reporting obligations. Also, these tests serve as proactive measures to identify vulnerabilities and strengthen cybersecurity defenses.
