The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a regulatory framework introduced by the European Union to strengthen the IT security and operational resilience of financial entities. Effective from January 2025, DORA requires banks, insurers, investment firms, and critical third-party ICT providers to ensure they can withstand, respond to, and recover from all types of ICT-related disruptions and threats. It emphasizes robust risk management, incident reporting, testing, and information sharing to protect the stability of the EU’s financial system in the face of increasing cyber threats and digital dependency.
For load balancing software vendors like RELIANOID, DORA represents both a challenge and an opportunity. Vendors must align their solutions with DORA’s stringent requirements for high availability, cyber resilience, and incident handling. This includes providing secure, fault-tolerant load balancing features, real-time monitoring, encrypted communications, and automated failover mechanisms. By embedding these capabilities, RELIANOID can position itself not just as a networking tool, but as a strategic enabler of regulatory compliance—helping financial institutions meet DORA mandates while ensuring optimal performance and security across their digital infrastructure.
In this context, RELIANOID presents its official statement on DORA compliance, detailed in the following sections, outlining how its load balancing technology supports the regulation’s key pillars of resilience, security, and operational continuity.
RELIANOID follows ISO 27001 principles for security management, applying continuous monitoring, risk assessment, and improvement processes across internal and external systems. Our load balancing solutions integrate NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) controls, including Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Web Application Firewall (WAF), DDoS protection, and real-time security notifications to ensure quick detection, response, and recovery from threats.
In addition, RELIANOID actively hardens its solutions using CIS Benchmarks, conducting continuous security performance tests, and proactively identifying known vulnerabilities and zero-day threats to maintain maximum protection.
RELIANOID’s load balancing solutions include built-in monitoring, logging, and alerting mechanisms for real-time incident detection. Our structured IT governance framework aligns IT risk management with business objectives, ensuring financial and enterprise clients meet regulatory standards.
We implement ITIL-based processes for service delivery, following the lifecycle of:
