✉️ We've published a letter to the European Commission on behalf of the Chief Risk and Chief Information Security Officers within our membership. The letter regards the interpretation of Information and Communication Technology service providers under EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), which governs ICT service providers for companies within the EU. Whilst the European Supervisory Authorities have made EU regulated services exempt from being classified as ICT services under DORA, they have indicated that the exemption will not extend to third country regulated financial services. We are urging the European Commission to address this discrepancy and adopt a consistent and coherent interpretation of the definition of ICT services under DORA to ensure an effective implementation. 🔗 Read the letter here: https://lnkd.in/g-ED9y87 #DORA #ICT
