Navigating IT and Security Risks in Fintechs in Light of Impending DORA Deadline

Episode notes

With regulators increasingly scrutinizing IT and security risks for fintechs, host Joseph Kamyar invites Skadden colleague Susanne Werry for a discussion about the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), which becomes effective next month. The act is expected to compel financial entities and relevant technology providers to reexamine existing contracts, policies, procedures and governance arrangements. Susanne, Frankfurt-based counsel in the Cybersecurity and Data Privacy and Artificial Intelligence Groups, offers important takeaways as 2025 draws near. While some companies are well on the way to DORA compliance, she notes, others are in the early stages.
