DORA Compliance & Audit

The financial sector is more connected and more vulnerable than ever. Cyber threats, IT failures, and regulatory pressures aren’t just risks, they’re business realities. That’s why DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) isn’t just another regulation, it’s a framework designed to keep financial institutions strong, secure, and always prepared.

At VISTA InfoSec, we simplify DORA compliance with tailored solutions that align with your organization’s specific risk landscape. As a vendor-neutral, CREST-certified firm, we provide independent, transparent, and expert-led services to help you navigate DORA’s stringent requirements with confidence.

If your organization is also working toward compliance with standards like SWIFT CSP, ISO 27001, or SOC 2, our AuditFusion360 service allows you to consolidate overlapping controls into a single, streamlined audit—saving time, eliminating control repetitions, and accelerating your compliance journey.
