Article 8 Modification de la directive (UE) 2016/2341

Summary What does Article 8 of the DORA directive say?

This article amends Directive (EU) 2016/2341, which governs the activities and supervision of institutions for occupational retirement provision (IORPs).

It replaces an existing provision to bring IORPs into alignment with DORA (Regulation (EU) 2022/2554) by explicitly requiring that their network and information systems be set up and managed in accordance with that regulation.

The broader obligation — to take reasonable steps to ensure continuity and regularity in their activities, including contingency planning — is retained, with DORA compliance now embedded within it.

Important points:

Member States are required to ensure that IORPs set up and manage their network and information systems in accordance with DORA.
The DORA obligation applies to IORPs where applicable, meaning it is not unconditional but subject to relevance in a given context.
This article connects directly to DORA, extending its digital operational resilience requirements into the occupational pensions sector.
