Quakker: A Strategic Decision for Board-Level Compliance with DORA and NIS2
The introduction of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the NIS2 Directive by the European Union has shifted the responsibility for digital resilience from IT teams to the top levels of corporate leadership.
Today, board members and C-level executives are personally accountable for ICT risk, operational continuity, and incident response. This new era of governance requires more than policy—it demands tools that align with regulatory expectations from the ground up.
That’s why choosing Quakker, a secure, Salesforce-native telephony and SMS platform, is more than a tech upgrade—
🔒 It’s a decision that protects your board, your data, and your compliance posture.
Why DORA and NIS2 Require Executive Action
Regulations like DORA and NIS2 are designed to ensure that organizations across finance, infrastructure, healthcare, and other essential services can continue to operate during and after cyber incidents. But they also introduce a new layer of personal liability for decision-makers.
Board members must now:
Oversee ICT governance at the strategic level
Ensure appropriate tools are in place to manage communication risks
Demonstrate ongoing operational resilience
Provide audit trails and incident transparency
Supervise the organization’s third-party technology risk
Failure to comply doesn’t just bring fines. It can result in:
Temporary bans from serving in executive roles
Reputational damage
Civil or criminal proceedings in cases of gross negligence
