DORA vs ISO 27001

Where They Overlap

• Risk assessment, access control, cryptography, logging, supplier security themes
• Documented ISMS governance that can feed Articles 5–16 evidence

Where ISO 27001 Alone Falls Short

• Major ICT-related incident clocks (4h / 72h / 1 month chain)
• Register of information in the ITS sense
• Article 30 contractual key provisions
• TLPT / TIBER-style advanced testing for significant entities
• CTPP oversight interactions

Practical Strategy

Keep ISO 27001 as the control engine; overlay a DORA evidence map in CSA for sector-specific artefacts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ISO 27001 certification prove DORA compliance?

No. It is strong supporting evidence for many ICT controls but does not replace DORA’s reporting, testing, and third-party obligations.

Should we stop ISO 27001 if we must do DORA?

Usually no — many financial entities run both. ISO keeps the ISMS disciplined; DORA adds sector duties.

What about NIS2?

Some entities face NIS2 and DORA conversations together — see NIS2 vs DORA.
