DORA Compliance

Learn how to ensure your code meets DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) requirements with Juro's comprehensive compliance scanning.

✅ Current Implementation Status​

Juro includes 6 comprehensive DORA rules that are fully implemented and actively scanning your code:

Implemented Rules​

  1. Logging - Critical ICT systems must have comprehensive logging
  2. Encryption - Data at rest and in transit must be encrypted
  3. Incident Response - Procedures must be documented
  4. Business Continuity - Disaster recovery must be planned
  5. Third-Party ICT Risk - Third-party risk management must be implemented
  6. Resilience Testing - Digital resilience testing must be conducted regularly

Coverage Details​

  • Severity Levels: HIGH, MEDIUM
  • File Types: All programming languages + configuration files (.env, .yaml, .yml, .sql)
  • Context Patterns: Security implementation patterns and compliance requirements
  • Real-Time Scanning: Available in VS Code extension with instant feedback

Key DORA Requirements​

ICT Risk Management​

  • Comprehensive risk management framework
  • Regular risk assessments and updates
  • Risk mitigation strategies
  • Incident response procedures

Incident Reporting​

  • Incident detection and classification
  • Timely reporting to authorities
  • Root cause analysis
  • Lessons learned documentation

Digital Operational Resilience Testing​

  • Regular penetration testing
  • Vulnerability assessments

  • Crisis communication testing

ICT Third-Party Risk Management​

  • Third-party risk assessment
  • Contract management
  • Vendor monitoring
  • Exit strategies

Common DORA Violations​

Security Controls​

  • Weak authentication mechanisms
  • Missing encryption for sensitive data
  • Inadequate access controls
  • Poor password policies

Incident Response​

  • Missing incident detection systems
  • Inadequate response procedures
  • Poor escalation mechanisms
  • Insufficient documentation

Risk Management​

  • Incomplete risk assessments
  • Missing threat modeling
  • Inadequate vulnerability management
  • Poor risk monitoring

Monitoring & Logging​

  • Insufficient audit logging
  • Missing security monitoring
  • Inadequate log retention
  • Poor log analysis

Juro DORA Scanning​

Command Line Scanning​

# Scan for DORA violations
juro scan --path ./src --rules dora --format json

# Scan with specific severity threshold
juro scan --path ./src --rules dora --severity-threshold HIGH

# Generate detailed report
juro scan --path ./src --rules dora --format html --output dora-report.html

VS Code Extension​

  • Real-Time Scanning: Violations appear instantly as you type
  • Inline Highlighting: Visual indicators for DORA violations
  • Hover Tooltips: Detailed information and fix suggestions
  • Compliance Scoring: Real-time DORA compliance score

Code Examples​

Security Controls Implementation​

Good: Strong Authentication​

// Multi-factor authentication
const authenticateUser = async (credentials) => {
  const user = await validateCredentials(credentials);
  if (user) {
    const mfaToken = await generateMFAToken(user.id);
    return { user, mfaToken };
  }
  throw new Error('Invalid credentials');
};

// Encrypted password storage
const hashPassword = async (password) => {
  const salt = await bcrypt.genSalt(12);
  return await bcrypt.hash(password, salt);
};

Bad: Weak Security​

// Plain text password storage
const user = {
  username: 'admin',
  password: 'password123' // ❌ DORA violation
};

// No encryption for sensitive data
localStorage.setItem('userData', JSON.stringify(sensitiveData)); // ❌ DORA violation

Incident Response Implementation​

Good: Comprehensive Logging​

// Security event logging
const logSecurityEvent = (event, severity, details) => {
  const logEntry = {
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    event,
    severity,
    details,
    userId: getCurrentUserId(),
    sessionId: getCurrentSessionId()
  };
  
  // Send to security monitoring system
  securityLogger.log(logEntry);
  
  // Alert if critical
  if (severity === 'CRITICAL') {
    alertSecurityTeam(logEntry);
  }
};

Bad: Missing Incident Response​

// No logging for security events
const processPayment = (paymentData) => {
  // Process payment without logging
  return processPaymentInternal(paymentData); // ❌ DORA violation
};

Risk Assessment Implementation​

Good: Vulnerability Scanning​

// Regular security checks
const performSecurityScan = async () => {
  const vulnerabilities = await scanForVulnerabilities();
  const riskScore = calculateRiskScore(vulnerabilities);
  
  if (riskScore > RISK_THRESHOLD) {
    await notifySecurityTeam(vulnerabilities);
    await generateRiskReport(vulnerabilities);
  }
};

// Automated risk monitoring
setInterval(performSecurityScan, 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000); // Daily

Bad: No Risk Management​

// No security scanning or risk assessment
const deployToProduction = (code) => {
  // Deploy without security checks
  return deployCode(code); // ❌ DORA violation
};
