What happened
As DORA enters its second enforceable year, EU regulators are shifting focus from paperwork compliance to proving SOC visibility can actually detect and scope active intrusions. Article 9 requires continuous monitoring of ICT ecosystems, but asset inventories, config records, and endpoint telemetry leave blind spots across legacy systems and unmanaged devices—gaps the article argues Network Detection and Response (NDR) should fill.
Why it matters
If your SaaS or fintech startup serves EU financial institutions as a third-party ICT provider, your customers will increasingly demand evidence that your systems support their DORA continuous-monitoring obligations—including visibility into inter-system communication, not just endpoint logs. This article is vendor-adjacent (pushing NDR), so treat the framing skeptically, but the regulatory pressure on EU-facing fintech supply chains is real and may flow into contract requirements.
Discussion angle
For Malaysian startups building fintech or B2B SaaS targeting EU clients: what logging and monitoring capabilities do you need to expose to satisfy a DORA-covered customer's due diligence, and is that a differentiator or just a cost center?
