It focuses on five key pillars, including ICT risk management, incident management and reporting, digital operation resilience testing, and third-party risk. Non-compliance with DORA can damage an organisation's relationship with regulators and lead to remediation programs and penalties. Organisations need to start preparing for DORA compliance by scoping the project, conducting a gap analysis, developing a roadmap, and implementing mitigation actions. Key challenges include weaknesses in IT risk management, lack of asset management, and the need for standardised contract clauses. Organisations should take DORA seriously and not just treat it as a compliance project. They should invest in ongoing risk assessments, engage with third parties, and commit to implementing robust controls.

Download the ebook now for FREE: https://www.gatekeeperhq.com/free-vendor-management-ebook Key Highlights: Why Procurement is Awesome (00:39 - 01:30) Reba shares her passion for procurement and mentions that it is the only role in a company that allows you to learn how the company runs. As part of your day-to-day routine, you will get to interact with people from sales, operations, legal and finance teams. This gives you an insight on how they make decisions, the technology they use, and their pain areas. You can then piece this together to get a sense of how the company runs. Only procurement gives you this working knowledge across different business verticals. Why and How to Build Positive Relationships with Stakeholders (01:54 - 03:21) The typical procurement workflow pivots around chasing multiple stakeholders to remove the workflow blockages. Now, think if the same stakeholders viewed you as an essential part of getting their work done, would there be fewer blockages? The way to cultivate positive relations with your stakeholders is to understand their pain points and current gaps. Next, identify the gaps as system, process, or communication issues and then fill them with efficient processes and automation. Your stakeholders will start viewing you as an asset that provides value. Go out of your way to get the vendor to sign up for a certification that your legal team requires. Provide solutions for sales in your purchase-to-pay cycle and automate routine tasks for the stakeholders. Quotes: “I think one of the coolest things about being in procurement is that we know a little bit about everything that happens at the company”. “Every year, we do a big gap analysis, and we say, what's a systems issue? A process issue or communications issue”.
