Product Overview

The Morclear DORA Implementation Playbook is a premium digital guide designed to help financial entities and critical ICT service providers achieve structured readiness for the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).

It translates regulatory text into actionable steps – defining what needs to be done, who is accountable, how to execute, and what evidence is required to demonstrate compliance.

This playbook is engineered for organisations seeking a practical, business-ready pathway to resilience: one that reduces interpretation time, accelerates programme build-out, and supports credible engagement with boards, auditors, and regulators.

• Identify and remediate critical ICT and third-party risks
• Prepare governance, policies, controls, and documentation required for audits
