EACH, ECSDA & FESE Joint High-Level Principles on DORA Implementation

The European Association of CCP Clearing Houses (EACH), the European Central Securities Depositories Association (ECSDA), and the Federation of European Securities Exchanges (FESE) fully support the objective of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) to deliver clear, resilient, and proportionate ICT cybersecurity rules.

• A proportionate approach to strengthen the industry’s digital resilience
• Providing enough time for safe implementation
• Clear transitioning from existing regulations to DORA
• Building upon existing practices to implement DORA
• Effective coordination among the ESAs and NCAs
• Protection of sensitive business data
