What DORA is

DORA sets ICT risk-management, resilience-testing, and third-party oversight requirements for banks, insurers, and other EU financial entities. Its access-control, privileged-access, and logging expectations map directly onto Entra ID Conditional Access, PIM, and unified audit logging.

DORA and Microsoft 365: common questions

Does DORA apply to Microsoft 365?

Digital Operational Resilience Act does not name Microsoft 365 specifically, but its identity, access-control, and logging requirements are met (or missed) in your Microsoft 365 and Entra ID configuration. That is where Siemserva checks provide the evidence.

How does Siemserva map to DORA?

Siemserva runs 210+ Microsoft 365 and Entra ID checks across the areas DORA emphasizes, multi-factor authentication, Conditional Access, privileged access, and logging, ranks the gaps by Severity, and produces audit-ready evidence. It is evidence, not an official mapping or certification.

Is this an official DORA certification?

No. Senserva is not an assessor and issues no certifications. It provides the configuration evidence, Severity ranking, and remediation that make an assessment defensible. Confirm requirements with your assessor or regulator.
