DORA Isn’t Just a Regulation; It’s a Reality Check. 

And OpenIAM Is the edge you didn’t know you needed. 

If you’re in finance, you already know this: we’re living in a world where the biggest risk isn’t bad investment—it’s digital fragility. 

Your systems go down. Your vendor gets breached. Your customers can’t transact.  And suddenly? You’re not a financial institution. You’re a headline. 

That’s the world DORA was born into. 

So... What Is DORA, Really? 

Let’s skip the legalese. The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is the EU’s way of saying: 

“Hey financial sector, prove to us that when something breaks, you won’t.” 

It’s bold. It’s wide-reaching. And since January 17, 2025, it’s non-negotiable. 

DORA applies to: 

Banks 

Insurance firms 

Investment managers 

Fintech companies 

Crypto platforms 

And yes, every third-party tech vendor in that stack 

This isn’t about patching servers anymore. It’s about proving your entire digital house is in order, inside and out. 

The Uncomfortable Truth? Most Orgs Aren’t Even Close. 

We’ve talked to CIOs, CISOs, and compliance leads across Europe. Here’s what they admit when the cameras are off: 

“We still onboard users manually.” 

“Third-party access? Honestly? We track it in Excel.” 

“Access reviews are... a mess.” 

Sound familiar? 

The thing is, DORA doesn’t care if your systems are “legacy.”  It doesn’t care how hard you’re trying.  It cares that you’re ready. 

Which brings us to OpenIAM. 

OpenIAM Is Not Just Another IAM Platform 

It’s a wake-up call, in shape of a platform. 

OpenIAM exists for one reason: to give control back to organizations struggling to govern who gets access to what, and how long they keep it. 

Identity Governance That’s Not an Afterthought 

With OpenIAM, user onboarding isn’t a week-long ticket in IT’s queue. It’s automated, policy-driven, and risk-aware. 

Leave a team? Change departments? Contract ends?  Access revokes itself. No more ghost accounts. No more “oops, we forgot.” 

Access Reviews That Don’t Break Your Brain 

Access certifications are often just rubber stamps.  OpenIAM flips the script with: 

Clear dashboards 

Delegated workflows 

Exception handling 

One-click reports for auditors who want proof, not promises   

Third-Party Access You Can Actually See 

You trust your vendors. Until one of their users still has admin access six months after the project ends. 

OpenIAM lets you treat vendors like real users, onboard them fast, limit their access, and shut the door when they’re done. 

Your supply chain isn’t just a vulnerability. With OpenIAM, it becomes part of your defence strategy. 

Contextual, Real-Time Access Control 

Imagine a system smart enough to say: 

“This login attempts from an intern in Romania at 3AM looks suspicious.” 

OpenIAM integrates with your SIEM/SOC stack to flag odd behaviour, enforce context-aware policies, and stop the “we never saw it coming” excuses. 

🇪🇺 EU Hosting, EU Trust 

Data sovereignty isn’t just legal fluff; it’s peace of mind.  OpenIAM, via Identihost, offers EU-based cloud hosting for customers who take compliance seriously, and understand regulators will, too. 

Let’s Be Clear: This Isn’t Just About Checking Boxes 

You can duct-tape a solution together and technically pass an audit. 

Or, you can build a real digital resilience strategy that: 

Scales with your org 

Makes life easier for your teams 

Impresses regulators 

And reduces your risk 

OpenIAM isn’t here to help you survive DORA.  It’s here to help you turn DORA into a strategic win. 

Still Not Convinced? Here’s What the “After” Looks Like: 

No more overnight scrambles before audits 

No more wondering “Who still has access to that?” 

No more email threads asking, “Did we remove the vendor?” 

Just visibility, control, and calm. 

And that might be the biggest win of all, peace of mind.
