Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) Lead Manager

Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) Lead Manager develops practical capability to lead DORA governance, ICT risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing, third-party oversight, and regulatory readiness. The learning path begins with dora scope, governance, management body, roles, ict risk framework, policies, and accountability and progresses into assets, change, vulnerability, protection, detection, continuity, recovery, and ict third-party controls, connecting requirements and methods with clear ownership, defensible evidence, and measurable decisions.

Applied work is anchored to a financial entity building coordinated operational-resilience evidence across business, technology, security, risk, and providers. Learners then address incident classification, materiality, reporting, evidence, communication, root cause, and lessons and resilience testing, tlpt, provider oversight, registers, metrics, assurance, and improvement, producing DORA governance and ICT risk charter, operational resilience control and provider register, DORA incident classification and reporting playbook, testing, oversight, and assurance roadmap.

By completion, participants can interpret the subject, perform the relevant workflow, evaluate exceptions, communicate supported conclusions, and hand over prioritized actions with named ownership and follow-up.
