Programme Descriptor

The Certificate in Digital Operational Resilience will focus on developing an understanding of the cybersecurity risks and standards underpinning the DORA Regulations, including relevant internationally accepted cybersecurity risk frameworks such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.

The programme will analyse how to demonstrate compliance with the key DORA provisions including an ICT Governance Framework, ICT Risk Management Framework, and ICT Third Party Providers’ Risk Management. The essential elements of a comprehensive Testing Programme will be identified, and both the legal and non-financial implication of non-compliance with DORA will be investigated.
