3rdRisk recognised by Verdantix as a key innovator in DORA compliance

3rdRisk recognised as a DORA innovator

As the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) takes full effect across the EU, financial institutions are under increasing pressure to meet stringent regulatory requirements. From third-party risk management to incident reporting and digital resilience, the scale of change demanded by DORA is significant. And according to research and advisory firm Verdantix, many organisations are still struggling to reach full compliance.

In their latest blog post, Cracking The DORA Code, Verdantix highlights that 86% of financial institutions remain non-compliant three months after DORA’s enforcement in January 2025. The reason? It’s not just about process updates—compliance hinges on implementing the right supporting technologies.

We’re proud that Verdantix has recognised 3rdRisk as one of the key innovative solution providers helping financial institutions navigate DORA requirements with confidence.

What sets 3rdRisk apart?

Verdantix notes that 3rdRisk’s cloud-based platform offers a comprehensive toolkit designed to streamline DORA compliance efforts. Among the platform’s key features:

• One-click export of the Register of Information, complete with a built-in health check for required fields
• Pre-loaded DORA requirements and educational content to accelerate understanding and adoption
• Automated third-party risk assessments to ensure robust oversight of critical dependencies
• Integrated incident reporting tools that support rapid response and documentation

These capabilities enable organisations to significantly reduce the time and effort needed for design, configuration, assessment, and reporting—while delivering real-time visibility into both internal and external control environments.

More than compliance: A strategic advantage

The Verdantix blog also emphasises that DORA compliance offers more than just regulatory alignment—it builds strategic value. Organisations that invest in digital resilience and governance today are well-positioned to gain stakeholder trust and competitive advantage tomorrow.

At 3rdRisk, we believe that compliance should never be a box-ticking exercise. That’s why we’ve built a platform that empowers teams to go beyond the minimum—simplifying complex requirements while laying the groundwork for smarter, more resilient operations.
