Artikel 4 Proportionalitetsprincipen


Summary What does Article 4 of the DORA regulation say?

This article establishes the proportionality principle as it applies throughout DORA.

It makes clear that financial entities are not expected to apply the regulation's requirements in a one-size-fits-all manner; instead, compliance must be calibrated to each entity's size, risk profile, and the nature and complexity of its operations.

This principle runs across the ICT risk management rules in Chapter II, as well as the requirements in Chapters III, IV, and the first section of Chapter V.

Competent authorities are also brought into the picture, as they must factor in proportionality when reviewing an entity's ICT risk management framework.

Important points:

  • Implement the rules of Chapters II, III, IV, and V, Section I in a manner proportionate to your size, overall risk profile, and the nature, scale, and complexity of your services, activities, and operations.
  • Competent authorities are required to consider the proportionality principle when reviewing the consistency of a financial entity's ICT risk management framework.
  • This article acts as a cross-cutting interpretive lens for how obligations throughout the regulation should be applied.

Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

    1. Finansiella entiteter ska genomföra reglerna i kapitel II i enlighet med proportionalitetsprincipen, och med beaktande av sin storlek och allmänna riskprofil, och karaktären på, omfattningen av och komplexiteten i sina tjänster, sin verksamhet och sina insatser.

    1. Dessutom ska finansiella entiteters tillämpning av kapitlen III, IV och V, avsnitt I, stå i proportion till deras storlek och allmänna riskprofil, och karaktären på, omfattningen av och komplexiteten i sina tjänster, verksamhet och insatser, i enlighet med vad som specificeras i de relevanta reglerna i dessa kapitel.

    1. De behöriga myndigheterna ska beakta finansiella entiteters tillämpning av proportionalitetsprincipen när de ser över enhetligheten i IKT-riskhanteringsramen baserat på de rapporter som lämnats in på begäran av de behöriga myndigheterna enligt artiklarna 6.5 och 16.2.
