EXPERTISE IN ACTION
European Union Directives
As regulatory pressure increases across the EU, Securora ensures organizations remain aligned, prepared, and operational - without disruption.
European Union directives increasingly influence how organizations design, operate, and govern their technology and security environments. These requirements extend beyond formal compliance, shaping expectations around accountability, resilience, transparency, and operational discipline.
Meeting these expectations requires more than interpretation. It requires the ability to translate regulatory intent into structures, controls, and practices that work in real operational environments.
How Securora supports alignment with EU directives:
-
Interpretation of regulatory requirements in an IT and operational context
-
Applicability and scope analysis across systems, services, and organizational units
-
Translation of regulatory obligations into actionable controls and practices
-
Design and structuring of supporting policies, procedures, and documentation
-
Alignment of technology, processes, and organizational responsibilities
-
Support for implementation planning and phased rollout
-
Preparation for regulatory reviews, inspections, and supervisory assessments
-
Evidence structure design and documentation readiness support
-
Ongoing alignment as regulatory expectations and interpretations evolve
DORA
Digital Operational Resilience Act
DORA establishes a unified framework for managing digital operational resilience across the European Union’s financial sector. It defines how organizations are expected to manage ICT risk, remain operational during disruption, and recover without compromising stability.
The regulation applies where technology failure, cyber incidents, or third-party disruption could materially impact financial services, market confidence, or systemic resilience.
Organizations are expected to demonstrate:
-
An integrated ICT risk management framework
-
Clear governance structure and management accountability
-
Defined roles for oversight, escalation, and decision-making
-
Incident detection, classification, and reporting capabilities
-
Operational resilience, continuity, and recovery measures
-
Structured resilience testing and scenario-based assessments
-
Third-party and ICT supplier risk oversight
-
Documented policies, controls, and operating procedures
-
Evidence of continuous monitoring and improvement
NIS2
Network and Information Security Directive
NIS2 sets a common expectation for how organizations across the European Union protect, operate, and recover their digital and operational environments. It focuses on resilience, accountability, and the ability to manage incidents without disrupting essential services.

Organizations are expected to demonstrate:
-
A defined cybersecurity risk management approach
-
Clear governance structure and management accountability
-
Formal management framework supporting security and resilience
-
Incident detection, response, and reporting capabilities
-
Business continuity and recovery arrangements
-
Supply chain and third-party security oversight
