How Redjack Helps Financial Institutions Meet DORA Compliance Demands
The financial services industry is undergoing a major regulatory shift—from focusing on cybersecurity and risk prevention to proving digital operational resilience. This evolution is being driven not only by the growing complexity of IT environments and cyber threats, but also by new regulatory frameworks that raise the bar for what it means to be truly prepared. At the center of this shift is the European Union’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).
How DORA Is Different
DORA doesn’t just consolidate existing information and communication technology (ICT) risk management standards—it reframes the challenge. It requires financial entities to treat technology not as something to secure in isolation, but as a critical operational dependency that must be sustained. Unlike traditional regulations that focus on controls and governance, DORA emphasizes resilience outcomes, such as the ability to recover quickly from outages, maintain continuity of critical business functions, and prove that ICT dependencies are fully understood and continuously monitored.
This presents major challenges for financial institutions managing complex infrastructure, undocumented legacy systems, hybrid environments, and a growing web of third-party services. Traditional tools and manual processes don’t deliver the kind of visibility, context, and evidence DORA requires.

How Redjack Helps
Redjack’s cyber resilience platform helps you address these challenges by providing the continuous, real-time insight needed to operationalize DORA compliance. Here’s how:
1. Complete ICT Asset Visibility
Redjack passively observes network activity to automatically identify all connected ICT assets—including shadow IT, unmanaged systems, and third-party components. This dynamic inventory spans IT, OT, and IoT assets across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments, ensuring you see everything.
→ Supports DORA Articles 8, 9, 10, and 28
2. Automated Dependency Mapping
Through behavioral analysis, Redjack builds live maps of how systems interact, uncovering both technical and functional interdependencies. This includes hidden relationships and cross-environment connections, which let you assess cascading risks and perform more efficient and effective recovery planning.
→ Supports DORA Articles 8, 9, 10, and 28
3. Mapping ICT to Business Functions
Redjack links assets and dependencies directly to the business functions they support. This alignment transforms technical data into operational insight, letting you prioritize resilience strategies around what matters most.
→ Supports DORA Articles 4, 8, and 24
4. Criticality Scoring
Every asset Redjack discovers is automatically evaluated for its impact on critical business functions. You can use this scoring to prioritize resilience planning—ensuring you give the most important services the attention they require.
→ Supports DORA Article 11
5. Resilience Scoring
Beyond knowing what’s critical, your organization needs to understand how resilient those assets are. Redjack continuously calculates resilience scores based on exposure and hardening metrics, helping your team focus improvements where they’re needed most.
→ Supports DORA Article 12
6. Recovery Planning Support
Redjack generates AI-powered phased recovery plans that reflect the current state of the environment for each of your critical business functions. These plans link assets and dependencies to your business priorities, making them actionable, testable, and directly aligned with recovery objectives.
→ Supports DORA Articles 11 and 12
The Bottom Line
DORA sets a new global benchmark for digital operational resilience. It demands a shift from policies to outcomes. Redjack delivers the data and insight required to meet that standard—not only to comply with regulation, but to build true cyber resilience for the future.
