Showcase your digital resilience through Praxi AI’s customized compliance solutions aimed at insurance providers.
What DORA Means for Insurers
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a landmark regulatory framework that takes effect across the EU financial services sector in January 2025. It mandates end-to-end Information and Communication Technology (ICT) risk governance, setting a high bar for operational resilience.
For insurers, DORA’s impact extends well beyond basic compliance. To succeed, you must not only keep your business running during digital disruptions, but also demonstrate your capability to withstand, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents. This includes building layers of protection to safeguard private policyholder data and managing a long chain of technology partners and third-party vendors - each with their own risks and points of failure.
In this landscape, operational resilience is no longer optional—DORA makes it enforceable, holding insurers to a new, higher standard where readiness, transparency, and incident response are expected as everyday business practices.
DORA Requirements at a Glance
Under DORA, insurers must address specific operational, technical, and organizational challenges to ensure compliance. These requirements cascade across your teams, vendors, and IT infrastructure.
Here’s a guide to each DORA pillar and what it means for insurers:
ICT Risk Management
Develop holistic, organization-wide strategies with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and regular risk assessments.
Incident Reporting
Detect, classify, and report significant ICT-related incidents to regulators within strict timelines to maintain oversight.
Digital Resilience Testing
Conduct realistic simulations and threat-led penetration tests to guarantee disaster readiness and business continuity.
Third-Party Risk Oversight
Continuously monitor all vendors and outsourcers using audits, contractual clauses, real-time registers, and clear exit strategies.
Information Sharing
Exchange and receive threat intelligence securely, participating in trusted sharing networks to boost collective defense.

> FAQs
Does DORA apply if we outsource ICT to third parties?
Yes. DORA holds insurers fully responsible for the oversight, accountability, and incident reporting of ICT functions, regardless of whether those services are managed internally or by third-party providers. Praxi AI’s automated monitoring makes it easy to supervise all external partners, track obligations, and report incidents in line with regulatory timelines.
How is DORA different from GDPR?
GDPR is focused on the lawful processing and protection of personal data. By contrast, DORA requires organizations to demonstrate comprehensive ICT operational resilience - encompassing risk management, uninterrupted services during digital disruptions, vendor monitoring, and rigorous documentation. While the two are complementary, DORA’s scope is much broader regarding business infrastructure and operational continuity.
Can we use Praxi AI if we’re working with legacy systems?
Absolutely. Praxi AI is designed to integrate seamlessly with legacy, cloud, and hybrid systems. This ensures that you can elevate your organization’s compliance profile without costly overhauls or disruptions to your day-to-day processes.
What if we operate outside the EU but serve EU customers?
DORA compliance is determined by the location of your service or your customer base, not just where your offices are. If you serve EU-based customers, or use ICT systems, subcontractors, or vendors based in the EU, you must comply with DORA’s requirements.
