Although DORA is an EU regulation, you may still be in scope in Jersey, Guernsey and Mauritius. For example, financial services are considered in scope if they provide services to a financial institution in the EU.

While it isn't yet law in the UK, DORA will still likely apply, with authorities hinting that it will become UK law. And where the UK and EU go, others will likely follow.

Whether in the EU, UK, Jersey, Guernsey, Mauritius or otherwise, all organisations should assess whether they will fall within the scope of DORA and what actions they'll need to take to comply.

How will DORA affect the board?

One of the crucial mandates of DORA is that boards of financial services organisations will be accountable for ICT risk by law. This is a big step forward – while cybersecurity is recognised as a board-level risk, it's now codified in EU law.

The board must also be educated on the threats and risks of their digital estate; this means that scrutiny on CISOs and other cybersecurity leaders will likely increase, as will their influence within the boardroom.
