🔍 New Position Paper: SPA's Take on the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) & Physical Payment Card Personalization The Smart Payment Association (SPA) has released an important position paper on the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), examining the relevance of physical payment card personalization under the regulation. 📅 Key Highlights: DORA aims to establish a high level of cyber-resilience in the European financial industry, focusing on ICT systems and third-party service outsourcing. DORA, effective from January 17, 2025, includes provisions for monitoring and ensuring the resilience of critical ICT services, particularly those outsourced to third parties. 🚨 SPA's Position on Card Personalization: After a thorough review, SPA concludes that physical payment card personalization is not subject to DORA. Here's why: Manufacturing Process: Card personalization is a manufacturing, offline process—not an ICT service provided to banks. Independent of Payment Systems: Personalization centres are not integrated with card payment systems and do not impact the provision of payment services. Offline & Non-Networked: The personalization process is offline, independent from the bank’s ICT systems, and does not pose any systemic risks to financial services or security. DORA's focus on ICT resilience applies to networked infrastructures and systems, which is not the case with card personalization services. This paper outlines why card personalization services do not fall under DORA's remit and provides clarity on the implications for the payments industry. 🔗 Read the full position paper here: https://lnkd.in/etvy84Gy #DORA #CyberResilience #PaymentCards #DigitalOperationalResilience #SPA #Fintech #PaymentSecurity #FinancialServices #Regulations #ICT #Compliance Smart Payment Association (SPA) IDEMIA Thales Thales Digital Identity and SecurityGiesecke+Devrient AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS
