DORA vs NIS2: Frequently Asked Questions
Which one applies to me?
DORA prevails over NIS2 for the financial sector (*Lex Specialis*). If you are a financial entity, your cybersecurity obligations are primarily governed by DORA, even if NIS2 is the general European framework.
What are the deadlines?
The DORA Regulation is fully applicable since **January 17, 2025**. Entities that haven't yet implemented the ICT risk management framework are in a critical regulatory risk situation.
