Description

This IDC Perspective examines the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and its implications for Asia/Pacific FIs as they navigate evolving regulatory landscapes. Although DORA is a European Union (EU)–specific regulation, its principles are influencing Asia/Pacific regulators, particularly in ICT risk management, third-party oversight, and incident reporting. This report highlights the growing investment in governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC), compliance automation, and cyber-resilience across Asia/Pacific FIs, along with strategies to align with DORA-inspired mandates. It also explores how Vanta's automated compliance and risk management solutions help FIs enhance security posture, streamline audits, and improve vendor risk governance."As regulatory frameworks in Asia/Pacific evolve, FIs must recognize DORA not merely as an EU compliance mandate but also as a foundational architecture for digital operational resilience. The convergence of AI-driven risk analytics, compliance automation, and advanced third-party governance is accelerating regulatory maturity, enabling institutions to implement continuous control monitoring (CCM), predictive security intelligence, and real-time compliance validation. By adopting proactive, AI-powered security frameworks and harmonized regulatory strategies, Asia/Pacific FIs can enhance cyber-resilience, mitigate systemic risks, and drive long-term regulatory interoperability across global markets," says Sakshi Grover, senior research manager on cybersecurity products and services, IDC Asia/Pacific.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
