DORA 2025 mandates operational resilience testing for all EU financial entities

DORA 2025 mandates operational resilience testing for all EU financial entities, requiring firms to prove they can maintain operations during cyber disruption. The mechanism is regulatory enforcement of resilience through scenario-based testing and auditability of controls. According to European supervisory authority publications, firms must demonstrate containment and recovery capabilities across critical services, with increasing scrutiny on technical enforcement controls. For practitioners, this shifts focus from theoretical compliance to provable architectures that maintain service continuity under attack conditions.
