    CISO transition mission - Definition and deployment of the DORA roadmap

    A French mutual insurance group specializing in wealth management and life insurance products, subject to financial regulations and operational resilience requirements.

    Challenges:
    Ensure the continuity of the CISO function after the departure of the incumbent and structure compliance with the DORA regulation on ICT risks and operational resilience.

    Mission Objectives:
    1 - Ensure interim CISO coverage: service continuity, IS operational management, security, and availability of business applications.

    2 - Define and then manage a DORA roadmap covering ICT risk management, major incidents, critical third-party providers, and resilience testing.

    Key Responsibilities:
    1 - Take charge of IS steering: infrastructure, core business applications, relations with internal teams and IT providers.

    2 - Scoping and formalizing the DORA compliance plan: diagnosis of the existing situation, gap analysis, prioritization of workstreams, and definition of milestones.

    3 - Implementation or strengthening of DORA processes: major ICT incident management, ICT third-party provider register, contractual clauses, reporting, and governance.

    4 - Facilitate governance: committees with risk, compliance, legal, and business departments to validate the trajectory and track progress.

    Key Results (examples that can be communicated):
    Multi-year DORA roadmap validated by Management and integrated into the company's IT and risk strategy.

    Strengthened operational resilience framework (incident processes, critical ICT provider mapping, monitoring indicators).

    Secured transition of the CISO role, without service interruption or major IS incidents.
