DORA Compliance
Discover, protect and securely erase data – meeting DORA's expectations for controlled and verifiable data handling across the lifecycle.
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, encryption, access control, enforced retention and secure data wiping.
DORA Encryption
- Encryption supports DORA’s ICT risk management requirements, particularly Article 9 (Protection and prevention) within Chapter II (Articles 5–16), which requires measures to protect the confidentiality and integrity of data.
- 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.
DORA Access Control
- Access control supports DORA’s Article 9 (Protection and prevention). Article 9(4), point (c) requires financial entities to implement policies that limit physical or logical access to information and ICT assets, based on roles and functions.
- Controlling which users, applications and processes can reach sensitive data reduces the risk of unauthorized access and supports the least-privilege approach DORA expects.
- To support DORA compliance, we offer BestCrypt Data Shelter for policy-based access control across endpoints.
DORA Data Wiping
- Secure data wiping supports key obligations under the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), particularly Article 9 (Protection and prevention) within ICT risk management (Chapter II, Articles 5–16). It requires financial entities and ICT service providers to protect the confidentiality and integrity of data throughout its lifecycle, including when systems are decommissioned, rebuilt or retired.
- When third-party arrangements end, DORA’s key contractual provisions for ICT third-party risk (Chapter V, Articles 28–44, Article 30) cover the return and handling of data, so sensitive information can be securely removed.
- To help your organization with DORA, we offer BCWipe to protect selected files and folders and BCWipe Total WipeOut to erase 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.
