DORA Compliance
Wiping & Encryption Compliance for Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)
Strengthening Digital Operational Resilience Under DORA
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), in force since January 2025, sets new expectations for how financial entities and ICT service providers manage ICT risks. The regulation requires organizations to demonstrate controlled and verifiable data handling throughout the data lifecycle. An effective compliance strategy includes data discovery, enforced retention, secure data wiping and encryption.
DORA Data Wiping
- Secure data wiping supports key obligations under the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), particularly within ICT risk management (Articles 5–14). These requirements expect financial entities and ICT service providers to protect data confidentiality and integrity throughout its lifecycle.
- DORA also addresses system decommissioning and third-party risk (Articles 21–27 and 28–44), meaning organizations must ensure sensitive data is securely removed when systems are rebuilt, retired or when contracts end.
- To help your organization with DORA, we offer BCWipe to protect selected files and folders and BCWipe Total WipeOut to erase entire hard drives.
DORA Encryption
- Encryption supports key ICT risk management requirements under DORA (Articles 6–14), which focus on protecting data confidentiality and integrity.
- DORA requires organizations to implement appropriate technical measures to prevent unauthorized access, including when data is stored, transmitted or processed by third parties.
- To support DORA compliance, we offer BestCrypt Container Encryption to safeguard files and folders and BestCrypt Volume Encryption to protect entire hard drives.

About DORA Compliance
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) establishes a unified regulatory framework to strengthen ICT risk management across the European financial sector.
Unlike previous regulations that focused primarily on data protection, DORA addresses operational resilience, ensuring that financial entities can withstand, respond to and recover from ICT-related disruptions.
DORA applies to a broad range of financial entities and ICT service providers, including:
- Financial Institutions: Banks, investment firms, insurance and reinsurance companies
- Financial Market Infrastructures: Trading venues, central counterparties and payment institutions
- ICT Third-Party Providers: Cloud service providers, data centers and managed service providers supporting financial entities
- Critical Technology Vendors: Organizations delivering ICT systems that support regulated financial services
DORA requires organizations to maintain visibility, control and demonstrable protection of data throughout its lifecycle – from creation and storage to retention and secure removal.
