DORA
Foundation (PECB Certified)

What is DORA Foundation?

DORA — the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act — sets comprehensive ICT risk, incident and resilience expectations for financial entities. This Foundation course covers what the regulation requires and how its five pillars fit together.

Why it matters in Nigeria

DORA reaches beyond the EU: Nigerian financial groups, fintechs and service providers with EU exposure are meeting its expectations through counterparties and group policy — and its framework is becoming the reference for operational resilience everywhere. Understanding it is a fast-growing differentiator for risk and technology professionals.
