Digital Operational Resilience — Practitioner's Handbook

Description

Welcome to the Leanpub Launch video for Digital Operational Resilience — Practitioner's Handbook: A Working Guide to Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 https://leanpub.com/dora-practitioners-handbook by William Power! 0:00 William Power introduces himself and his background in DevSecOps, cloud, and compliance 1:37 Why William chose EU compliance as his niche over cybersecurity 2:23 How William discovered DORA through an EU-funded course in Ireland 4:49 The communication gap between IT and business — and why it matters for operational resilience 7:17 Real-world example: a company unaware of its exposure to Google Cloud during a Revolut outage 8:06 How the handbook helps the 25,000 EU financial entities understand and meet DORA obligations 11:16 The EU's discovery that critical ICT dependencies span far more than just a handful of hyperscalers 13:38 Why modern financial system downtime can wreak havoc on lives and economies 14:28 Operational resilience defined — treating banks with the rigour of nuclear plants or space programs 16:06 DORA as good practice, not just regulation — and what it means for any organisation's IT security About the Book Digital Operational Resilience is the book regulators didn't write for you. DORA governs every financial entity and ICT provider doing business in the EU — but the text itself reads like what it is: a regulation, not a guide. This handbook closes that gap. Mapped chapter-for-chapter to DORA's own nine-chapter structure, it works through what each obligation actually requires in practice: the ICT risk management framework your board has to own, the incident-reporting clock that starts the moment something breaks, the Register of Information every risk manager ends up maintaining whether or not it's officially their job, and the Lead Overseer regime now watching the critical providers underneath you. Built from real supervisory experience, real enforcement cases, and a worked case study carried through the book's core chapters — the practitioner's answer to "what do I actually do about it," not a restatement of the regulation. About the Author William Power is an Enterprise Architect and Technical Auditor, and the founder of Powerworks Global / Powerworks Consulting. His work spans EU technical regulation (DORA, NIS2, the EU AI Act, GDPR, and the Swiss FADP), event-driven systems, cloud and Kubernetes infrastructure, and agentic AI orchestration — the last of which did more to change how he works than any framework ever did. He is someone who has spent years inside traditional Enterprise Architecture before walking away from it, and who now builds the tools existed back then.
