Thanks to the support of IFS Skillnet, Allianz Partners has delivered two tailored leadership programmes in 2019. These programmes, which are accredited by University College Cork have provided us with key development opportunities which support our global business growth strategy.

FREE Briefing – The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) represents the EU’s most important regulatory initiative on operational resilience and cyber security in the financial services sector and goes a considerable way to consolidating and upgrading the requirements firms will face. The DORA will require firms to adopt a broader business view of resilience, with accountability clearly established at the senior management level. It applies to the vast majority of financial services firms operating in the EU and establishes binding rules for ICT risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing and third-party risk management (TPRM). The DORA should be seen as a catalyst for firms to accelerate strategic change in how they manage digital risks, and how effectively senior management and boards are able to evaluate the business impact of operational disruptions and understand the mitigants at their disposal. This briefing will give an overview of DORA and its impacts for CEOs and senior managers.
