Understanding DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) – Implications and Requirements for Business Information Providers and Trade Credit Insurance

 

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a regulation put forth by the European Union, aimed at ensuring that financial entities and their third-party service providers, including Business Information Providers (BIPs), are resilient to ICT-related disruptions. With the increasing reliance on digital systems and technologies, DORA focuses on enhancing the operational resilience of the EU’s financial sector, protecting them from risks related to cyber threats, system failures, and other ICT disruptions.

 

For Business Information Providers, who serve as vital players in the trade credit insurance industry by supplying critical data and analytics, DORA imposes stringent guidelines to ensure that their operational infrastructure is secure, resilient, and prepared to recover from ICT-related incidents without significant disruptions. The regulation mandates that BIPs assess and strengthen their operational resilience, focusing on the integrity of their ICT systems, management of third-party service providers, and risk mitigation strategies.

 

Agenda highlights include:

  • DORA’s background and scope
  • Key compliance requirements for BIPs and TCIs
  • Practical insights into operational resilience
  • What the future holds for our sector

Unlocking the power of LEI & vLEI: GLEIF insights & real-world use cases

 

 

Join us for this informative webinar, which counts on the participation of Nuria Vegas, Business Development Manager at Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF).

 

The LEI system, governed by the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF), was designed to bring greater transparency to global financial markets, but its applications extend far beyond just regulatory compliance. Today, the LEI is a key enabler for digital identity, financial inclusion, risk management, and supply chain finance—all highly relevant to FEBIS members.

With the recent introduction of the verifiable LEI (vLEI), we are entering a new era of real-time, cryptographically secure business identity verification, which has the potential to streamline KYC, enhance credit risk assessments, and enable seamless cross-border transactions.

We hope this session will provide you with valuable insights into how the LEI and vLEI can become powerful tools in your work and drive innovation in business identity and financial services.

 

During this session, we will explore:

  • An introduction to the Global LEI System (GLEIS)
  • The LEI and the verifiable LEI (vLEI)
  • Opportunities for FEBIS members – how leveraging LEI and vLEI can enhance your services and create new business opportunities
  • Real-world use cases

Building upon the panel discussion between National Associations Platform members held at the FEBIS General Assembly in Nice last September, this session will provide an overview of the current major issues faced by Business Information Providers at national level and action plan and coordinated efforts that FEBIS and the NAP are looking to develop.
