DORA-Compliant Timing Solutions for EU Financial Services

Eliminate Timing Risk from Your Trading Operations

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) mandates strict operational resilience requirements for financial institutions across the European Union.

Financial services organisations and their ICT services providers must implement secure measures that include protecting their timing infrastructure from disruptions.

Hoptroff delivers reliable, accurate timing solutions that strengthen your operational continuity and meet DORA compliance requirements.

Why Timing Resilience Is Essential for DORA

Timing infrastructure represents a critical operational dependency:

🛡 Timing failures can cascade across financial systems and trading operations

🛡 Operational disruptions targeting timing infrastructure are increasing

🛡 Timing failures lead to inaccurate transaction timestamping

🛡 Resilient timing infrastructure is fundamental for DORA compliance and other regulations (MIFID II, CAT NMS)

DORA requires robust timing resilience across EU financial services to:

✅ Maintain financial services availability against evolving cybersecurity threats

✅ Ensure business and trading continuity

✅ Implement effective third-party risk management and oversight capabilities

✅ Guarantee comprehensive security measures across the continent’s financial sector
