As the digital risk landscape shifts, so too must the operational strategy for Credit Unions in Ireland. The Central Bank's recent IT risk review isn’t just a recommendation, it’s a firm mandate with an 18-month deadline that directly impacts your Credit Union’s leadership.
This critical assessment is the first step on your essential journey toward full Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) compliance. For many leaders, navigating these advanced IT risk and security requirements can create a significant “governance gap.” The question is, how can you confidently ensure your Credit Union is protected and compliant in an increasingly complex digital threat landscape?
Ignoring this directive isn’t an option. The financial penalties, operational disruptions and severe reputational damage from non-compliance are simply too high to risk. This is the moment to transform a regulatory burden into a strategic advantage for your digital future.
