Fireblocks Unveils Cyber Security Tools to Help Crypto Handlers Meet Europe’s DORA Rules

Fintech firm Fireblocks has launched a comprehensive cyber security solution designed to help financial institutions and crypto asset services firms meet the stringent requirements of Europe's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). The new offering, dubbed Cyber and Operational Resilience Compliance Package, is part of Fireblocks' broader efforts to support crypto companies in navigating the increasingly complex regulatory landscape.

DORA, which came into force in January 2025, sets a new benchmark for financial institutions and crypto firms alike. While it's designed to protect consumers and maintain market stability, its scope and requirements have raised concerns among smaller players in the crypto space. According to Alex Jilitsky, Cyber GRC Director at Fireblocks, "DORA does not differentiate between relatively small crypto firms and large banks and financial institutions. It essentially says you need to be more resilient, not only to cyber attacks but also outages, disruptions, and technical failures."

Fireblocks' Cyber and Operational Resilience Compliance Package is a response to these challenges. The package includes several key features designed to support crypto companies in meeting DORA's requirements. These include a dedicated legal addendum, periodic reports, and an annual pooled security audit.

"We understand the unique risks that smaller crypto firms face," said Jilitsky. "Our compliance package is designed to provide them with the tools and expertise they need to navigate these challenges effectively." By offering this solution, Fireblocks aims to help crypto companies build resilience into their operations and reduce the risk of cyber attacks and other disruptions.

Fireblocks' efforts to support crypto firms in meeting DORA's requirements are part of a broader trend towards increased regulation and compliance in the industry. As more countries and regions introduce their own rules and guidelines, crypto companies must adapt to ensure they remain compliant and can continue to operate effectively.

In this rapidly evolving landscape, Fireblocks is well-positioned to help firms navigate the complexities of DORA and other regulatory requirements. By providing comprehensive cyber security solutions and expert guidance, Fireblocks aims to support crypto companies in achieving operational resilience and staying ahead of emerging threats.
