DORA Validation Assessments
Independent Validation of DORA Compliance — Boardroom Ready
The DORA Validation Assessment is a structured, independent service designed to help organisations understand whether their declared alignment with the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) stands up to scrutiny.
Delivered using the CyberPrism Digital Resilience Platform, this assessment goes beyond high-level readiness or maturity scoring. It focuses on validating declared controls against DORA regulatory requirements, helping organisations identify gaps, overstatements, and areas of regulatory risk before supervisory engagement, audit, or incident response.
Why DORA Validation?
Many organisations believe they are “DORA ready”, but regulators are increasingly focused on whether declared compliance can be substantiated.
A DORA Validation Assessment helps:
Validate declared controls against DORA requirements
Identify gaps and potential areas of regulatory exposure
Provide management with a clear, structured view of DORA alignment
Support internal assurance, audit preparation, and board oversight
What the Assessment Covers
