The Dutch Central Bank (DNB) has announced plans to conduct personal assessments of policymakers at financial institutions to ensure compliance with the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), which is set to take effect on January 17, 2025.
The DNB will evaluate the knowledge and experience of candidates in key ICT risk management areas during suitability assessments.
Candidates may face specific questions about DORA as part of this process, including its core requirements, ICT incident management, resilience testing and the handling of outsourcing risks.
The assessments will also consider candidates’ ability to formulate strategies, make informed decisions and demonstrate competencies such as adaptability and independent judgement.
The DNB clarified that the depth of expertise required will vary depending on the candidate’s role and the institution’s complexity, emphasising a proportional approach in evaluations.
