Most Underestimated Risk
Organizations underestimate the complexity of vendor compliance management. Most companies focus on their own systems but forget that their suppliers' security posture directly impacts their DORA compliance status.
Hidden Compliance Cost
Manual incident response costs organizations an average of €50,000 per incident. With automated systems, this drops to €5,000 while improving response times to meet 24-hour reporting requirements.
Competitive Advantage
Organizations with robust DORA compliance frameworks see 60% faster incident response times and 40% better vendor risk management capabilities.
