Our teams across the US, UK, Singapore, and India support clients through every timezone and regulatory context.
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (EU Regulation 2022/2554) is the European Union’s landmark regulation requiring financial entities to withstand, respond to, and recover from all types of ICT-related disruptions and threats.
DORA applies to banks, insurance companies, investment firms, crypto-asset service providers, and critically — ICT third-party service providers. This is where Indian technology companies face direct exposure.
If your Indian IT firm provides cloud services, data analytics, software, or managed services to any EU-regulated financial entity, you are classified as a Critical Third-Party Provider (CTPP) under DORA and must comply with its requirements.
Vista InfoSec brings a rare combination: deep EU regulatory expertise, India-based delivery, and a certified team that has guided financial institutions through GDPR, NIS2, and now DORA compliance.

DORA’s reach extends beyond EU-headquartered firms. Here’s who in India faces direct regulatory exposure.
Any Indian bank with branches, subsidiaries, or regulated activities in EU member states must comply with DORA’s full ICT risk management and resilience requirements.
Indian IT companies providing cloud infrastructure, software, data processing, or managed services to EU financial institutions are classified as ICT third-party providers under DORA.
Indian cloud service providers, colocation facilities, and data centre operators whose EU financial institution clients represent significant operational dependencies face mandatory DORA compliance.
Indian fintech startups and payment processing companies operating in the EU, or whose technology platforms are used by EU-regulated payment institutions, fall under DORA’s scope.
Indian managed security service providers (MSSPs), SOC-as-a-service firms, and cybersecurity consultancies serving EU financial clients must demonstrate DORA-compatible resilience capabilities.
Non-banking financial companies and insurance firms with EU market access, reinsurance relationships, or EU institutional investors may carry DORA compliance obligations.
End-to-end compliance support — from initial gap assessment through audit, implementation, and ongoing maintenance.
Our flagship starting point. We map your current ICT risk posture against all five DORA pillars and deliver a prioritised remediation roadmap with effort estimates and compliance timelines.
We build your ICT Risk Management Framework from the ground up or upgrade your existing framework to meet DORA’s specific requirements — including board-level governance design.
Our certified testers conduct DORA-compliant vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT/TIBER-EU) for significant financial entities.

Common questions from Indian companies navigating DORA for the first time.
Yes. DORA has extraterritorial application. If your Indian company provides ICT services — cloud, software, data processing, or managed services — to any EU-regulated financial entity, you are in scope as a third-party ICT provider regardless of where you are headquartered. The key test is whether an EU financial institution relies on your services for critical or important functions.
NIS2 is a broader cybersecurity directive covering essential services across multiple sectors. DORA is sector-specific to financial services and is more prescriptive. For financial entities, DORA takes precedence (lex specialis). Indian IT companies may face both — NIS2 if your EU clients are also NIS2-regulated entities, and DORA if those clients are financial institutions. Vista InfoSec can advise on the most efficient dual-compliance path.
EU financial institutions typically require: a completed DORA third-party questionnaire, your ICT risk management framework documentation, incident reporting procedures, business continuity and disaster recovery plans, recent penetration test reports, and your ICT asset register. Vista InfoSec's compliance audit produces exactly this evidence pack in a client-ready format.
Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) is an advanced form of red-team testing based on real threat intelligence. Under DORA, TLPT is mandatory every 3 years for significant financial entities — typically those above certain asset thresholds. ICT third-party providers may be included in the scope of a client's TLPT exercise. Vista InfoSec's certified TLPT team follows the TIBER-EU framework used across EU member states.
ISO 27001 is a strong foundation but does not equal DORA compliance. DORA has specific requirements — particularly around ICT incident reporting timelines, TLPT testing, and third-party contractual obligations — that go beyond what ISO 27001 covers. Vista InfoSec can map your existing ISO controls against DORA to identify the gaps and minimise duplication of effort.
Typical timelines: Gap Assessment (2–3 weeks), Remediation Planning (1 week), Implementation (8–16 weeks depending on maturity), Audit and Sign-Off (2–3 weeks). Most Indian ICT providers with a reasonable existing security posture can be DORA-compliant within 16–20 weeks total. Companies with immature security programmes may require 6–9 months.
Yes. DORA Article 30 specifies mandatory contractual provisions that financial entities must include in contracts with ICT third-party providers. We review existing contracts, identify missing clauses, and provide a DORA-compliant clause library your legal team can use for renegotiations and new contracts. This is one of the most time-sensitive requirements as existing contracts must be updated by July 2025.
We offer fixed-scope engagements with transparent pricing — no billable-hours surprises. A standalone Gap Assessment starts from ₹3.5 lakhs for a small ICT provider. Full compliance programmes including implementation support and audit are priced based on organisation size and complexity. Contact us for a no-obligation scoping call and we'll provide a fixed-fee quote within 48 hours.
