UpGuard is excited to announce the latest addition to our Vendor Risk Questionnaire Library: the DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) questionnaire! The addition of DORA to the Questionnaire Library reflects UpGuard’s ongoing commitment to providing our customers with the necessary tools to navigate today’s evolving regulatory standards.

The European Union (EU) is leading the development of comprehensive cybersecurity regulations. These frameworks shape secure digital environments and protect businesses and citizens from cyber threats. For industry leaders and cybersecurity practitioners, especially those focused on cloud technologies, understanding and navigating these frameworks is key to maintaining compliance and gaining a competitive edge.

In an era where data breaches and privacy concerns dominate headlines, regulatory frameworks like India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP) have become indispensable. The DPDP Act safeguards the privacy of individuals by regulating how organizations operating in India can collect, process, and store personal data. Landmark regulations like the DPDP Act are essential for enhancing data security.

Over the past few years, businesses have been fighting against the threat of data breaches and cyberattacks, and customers are trying to find new ways to protect their privacy online and keep their data safe from being shared with third parties. Since 2018, the California Consumer Privacy Act and others, such as the GDPR, have made it a legal obligation for companies to protect user data. As a result, other states are starting to follow suit.

DFARS compliance involves following regulations set by the U.S. Department of Defense for contractors and subcontractors, focusing on cybersecurity, supply chain risk management, and protecting sensitive information like Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is about to shake things up in the EU, and if you’re not ready, it’s time to get moving.
