Steering DORA Compliance: Google Cloud Charts Course for EU Financial Institutions
As Seen On
The recent enforcement of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) has been a game-changer for the EU’s financial sector and its interacting digital information technologies. The directive aims to enable true oversight over the intricate network of financial entities and their critical information and communication technology (ICT) providers. The spotlight now turns to tech giants like Google Cloud and how they’re evolving to meet the stringent DORA regulations.
Navigating through this regulatory labyrinth, Google Cloud has showcased commendable agility. The tech titan has proactively engaged with policymakers since the incipient stages of DORA, illustrating its commitment to this vital piece of regulation. Their involvement paints a picture of a company keenly intent on the nuanced implications of DORA for their operations and their customers.
Currently, Google Cloud is in the process of readying itself for DORA, with a cross-functional team that is laser-focused on ensuring full compliance. This initiative aims to reflect the company’s commitment towards transparency and collaboration, key pillars in enhancing risk management and resilience within their platforms.
One key aspect that DORA underscores is the designation of oversight. Google Cloud is meticulously preparing to shoulder the responsibilities of a certified ICT provider. This involves a stringent risk management framework that encompasses a thorough understanding of the system, rigorous assessments and routine compliance checks.
Incident reporting, a salient feature of the DORA regulations, is another area where Google Cloud is maneuvering. Recognizing the importance of rapid response to cybersecurity incidents, and providing regulatory bodies with the requisite data promptly, Google Cloud is preparing to support its customers through this process. This is part of Google’s dedication to ensuring financial entities can seamlessly comply with DORA’s incident reporting requirements.
Google Cloud’s commitment to upholding DORA regulations ties into their broader vision of designing a cloud that can be trusted by the world’s stringent industries. It is here that Google’s ongoing initiatives in rendering transparent, secure, and compliant services truly shape up.
Anchored in the tenets of the DORA regulation, Google Cloud demonstrates a concerted effort to make the cloud compliant, secure, and resilient. Through its preparations, Google Cloud is truly charting its course towards helping EU financial entities comply with the DORA regulations successfully.

Casey Jones
Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
