Whitepaper: IT Modernisation in the Financial Sector – DORA and FIDA as Regulatory Drivers and Strategic Opportunity

The European financial sector is undergoing a profound regulatory shift. At the center are two landmark EU initiatives: the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the upcoming Financial Data Access Regulation (FIDA).

DORA mandates that financial institutions secure their IT infrastructure – especially in cloud-based and highly interconnected environments – against operational disruptions and cyber threats. FIDA, by contrast, promotes open and secure financial data access through interoperable APIs and unified governance standards.

Together, these regulations mark a turning point. They make IT modernisation a regulatory obligation – with significant strategic potential.
