DORA Training

Last updated: 2 authoritative sourcesDORA Auditor Editorial Team

DORA training builds the digital-operational-resilience awareness the regulation requires across staff and, critically, the management body, which under Articles 5–6 must maintain sufficient knowledge to understand and oversee ICT risk.

Who needs training

DORA expects ICT security-awareness training for all staff and tailored resilience training proportionate to role. The management body carries an explicit, non-delegable duty to keep its ICT knowledge current, since it bears ultimate accountability for the framework.

What good training covers

Effective programmes cover the five pillars, incident-reporting duties, third-party-risk obligations, and the entity's own policies, refreshed as the regulation and its technical standards evolve.
