DORA TLPT (Threat Led Penetration Test)

DORA Threat‑Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) is an advanced, intelligence‑driven security assessment that evaluates how well an organisation can withstand real‑world cyberattacks. It goes beyond traditional penetration testing by simulating targeted adversaries using current threat intelligence and testing live environments, including critical systems and business processes.

Driven by the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act, TLPT is a regulatory requirement for significant financial institutions, ensuring that resilience is proven under realistic conditions—not just documented.

The benefits are substantial: deeper insight into real attack pathways, improved detection and response capabilities, and strengthened resilience across critical services. It also provides demonstrable assurance to regulators and stakeholders that security controls perform under pressure. Ultimately, DORA TLPT transforms compliance into meaningful resiliencem ensuring your organisation is prepared for the threats that matter most.
