Course Overview
Financial institutions and regulated organisations increasingly need to comply with both DORA and NIS2, requiring a unified approach to ICT risk, cybersecurity, and operational resilience. This mentor-led programme provides a structured pathway to understanding and implementing both frameworks together, focusing on efficiency, alignment, and practical execution.
You will explore how DORA and NIS2 intersect across governance, risk management, incident reporting, and third-party oversight. Through practical scenarios, you will learn how to conduct integrated gap assessments, prioritise remediation actions, and design compliance roadmaps that meet both regulatory expectations without duplication.
The course also focuses on executive communication, helping you translate technical and compliance findings into clear board-level insights. By the end, you will be equipped to support or lead combined regulatory initiatives and drive digital resilience programmes across your organisation.
