Avoid last-minute scrambles when DORA audit requests land

The situation this course is for

Regulatory requests under DORA often arrive with tight deadlines and unclear scope, especially when they intersect with credit risk oversight. Teams waste time coordinating across compliance, legal, and ICT security instead of producing what’s needed.

Who this is for

Senior Credit Risk Officer at a global financial institution navigating DORA's operational resilience requirements

Who this is not for

Junior analysts or IT security specialists without risk governance responsibilities

What you walk away with

  • Produce regulator-ready ICT risk oversight documentation without cross-functional dependencies
  • Own the third-party risk escalation memo that goes to central risk committee
  • Structure incident reporting packages that meet EBA expectations on timing and content
  • Map credit risk controls to DORA’s ICT risk framework without external consultants
  • Deliver internal audit packages for DORA scope that pass first-time review
