Q&A

Question ID: DORA 226 - 3314

Regulation Reference: (EU) 2022/2554 - Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)

Topic: ICT risk management (DORA)

Article: N/A

Status: Rejected

Date of submission: 07 Apr 2025

Question

Are financial entities permitted to determine more than one risk tolerance level of ICT risk?

Background of the question

DORA itself uses the term risk tolerance level (singular). But the supplementing Delegated Regulation EU 2024/1774 uses both risk tolerance level (singular) and risk tolerance levels (plural). Thus, questions arise, if some or all financial entities are permitted to / required to determine more than one risk tolerance level of ICT risk. References in the singular/risk tolerance level: Article 6 (8) (b) and Article 5 (2) (d) REGULATION (EU) 2022/2554, Article 3 (1) (a), (c), (d) and Article 11 (2) (f) Delegated Regulation EU 2024/1774. References in the plural/risk tolerance levels: Article 3 (2) (b) and Article 31 (1) (a) and (c) Delegated Regulation EU 2024/1774.

EIOPA answer

The question has been rejected because the question is seeking confirmation of a requirement already clearly set out in the regulation.
