DORA Penetration Testing
Security testing for EU Digital Operational Resilience Act
What this engagement covers
The service
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) requires financial entities in the EU to maintain robust ICT risk management and undergo threat-led penetration testing (TLPT). Our DORA penetration testing validates your digital operational resilience and satisfies Article 26 TLPT requirements.
What we test
We assess your ICT systems, platforms, and infrastructure supporting critical financial functions. Testing covers live production systems that support critical or important functions, including payment systems, trading platforms, customer-facing portals, and third-party ICT service provider integrations.
How we run it
Our DORA TLPT methodology follows the TIBER-EU framework as required by Article 26. We conduct threat intelligence-led red team testing against your critical functions, assess ICT third-party risk, validate incident reporting capabilities, and evaluate your digital operational resilience framework. Testing is coordinated with relevant financial supervisory authorities.

What you receive
Findings land in your tracker as you go, not only in a PDF at the end. Retest is in scope, not a change order.

- Incident reporting capability assessment
- Digital operational resilience gap analysis
- Retest validation report
What we usually find
The issues this engagement surfaces most often. Yours will differ, but this is the shape of it.
Who this is for
Findings are mapped to DORA (EU 2022/2554), TIBER-EU, EBA Guidelines, EIOPA Guidelines, so the report drops into an audit package rather than needing to be translated first. If you need the readiness work behind one of those, that is a separate engagement.
