Mission Possible: Agentic AI and the DORA Compliance Frontier

Presenting Speakers

About the Session

With SREP’s ICT risk framework, NIS2, Cloud guidelines, EU Data act, EU AI act, DORA and their global counterparts setting new technology and operational resilience standards, the financial sector is under mounting pressure to fortify every layer of its digital ecosystem – including an estimated 40,000 suppliers. The challenge isn’t just scale – it’s achieving clarity, coordination, and control across a sprawling, complex environment. Enter agentic AI.

This panel explores the overlaps and requirements of these new non-financial risk controls and how financial institutions are turning to next-gen AI technologies to make the impossible, possible. From mapping regulatory obligations to streamlining policy reviews and identifying supply chain risks, AI is pushing compliance from reactive to proactive, from fragmented to unified and comparable to common control models (e.g., Finos CCC).

As the regulatory spotlight shifts toward AI governance itself, panelists will examine how firms secure the “seaworthiness” of the financial sector amid accelerating digital risk?
