RAPIDRATINGS GUIDE

# Ensuring DORA Compliance: Why understanding vendor financial health is essential for banks in 2025

As regulatory pressures grow, the European Union’s Digital Operational Resilience Act **(DORA)** makes it increasingly essential for banks and financial institutions to focus on the financial health of their critical vendors. By January 17, 2025, DORA will require banks to enhance third-party oversight to ensure financial resilience across their vendor network. RapidRatings offers a guide designed to simplify compliance with DORA’s stringent requirements, helping you maintain continuous visibility into the financial health of your third parties and protect your institution from potential risks.

**Are You Ready? Don’t Risk Non-Compliance.**

#### In this guide, you'll discover:

- **Financial Health Assessment:** Learn to conduct due diligence on third parties’ financial stability before onboarding, as required by DORA.
- **Continuous Monitoring:** Implement ongoing evaluations to detect shifts in vendor stability, helping you anticipate risks before they impact operations.
- **DORA-Ready Financial Reporting:** Understand the reporting standards essential for compliance and how to meet them effectively.
- **Operational Resilience Assurance:** Gain insights on mitigating financial risks to protect your operations from third-party vulnerabilities.
