MiCA & DORA Compliance
At NUR Legal, we specialize in conducting thorough first-line compliance audits and facilitating certified audits for crypto projects under the EU’s landmark MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) and DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) frameworks.
Our MiCA/DORA Audit Services Include
​
-
Readiness Assessment
A preliminary gap analysis against MiCA/DORA requirements to gauge your current compliance status. We interview key personnel and review documents (policies, system architectures, etc.) to map out where you stand and what needs improvement.
-
Detailed Compliance Control
A thorough examination of each obligation (MiCA’s articles or DORA’s sections) applicable to you. We test controls, review transaction data flows, security logs, etc., and verify whether your procedures meet the legal standard. The outcome is an audit report highlighting any non- compliance with references to specific legal provisions for clarity.

Remediation Guidance
Post-audit, we work with your team to implement fixes. This could involve updating documentation (e.g. creating a MiCA-compliant crypto-asset white paper), upgrading IT.
MiCA Compliance Control
Our firm offers comprehensive audits for crypto businesses to ensure they are MiCA-ready. The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation introduces rigorous requirements for crypto-asset issuers and service providers (CASPs) – from capital reserves for stablecoin issuers to detailed disclosure and conduct rules for exchanges and custodians. In our first-level MiCA audit, we review your project’s structure, policies, and operations against each relevant MiCA obligation. This includes examining how you handle custody of assets, security of wallets, complaint handling procedures, market abuse monitoring, and more. We identify any gaps or non-compliance issues and provide a report with actionable recommendations to fix them ahead of MiCA’s full application date. For instance, if you are offering a stablecoin, we will audit whether you meet the reserve and white paper requirements; if you’re running a trading platform, we check compliance with transparency and governance duties. Becoming compliant with MiCA will require significant effort in a short time frame , so our audit acts as an early warning system – allowing you to remediate issues before regulators or investors catch them. Once you’ve implemented the fixes, we can issue a legal audit opinion letter affirming compliance, which can be useful in discussions with regulators, banking partners, or for investor due diligence.
DORA Compliance Control
We perform checks aligned with the Digital Operational Resilience Act for financial entities and crypto firms that fall in scope. A DORA audit reviews your ICT systems, cybersecurity measures, and operational risk framework to assess whether they meet the new unified standards for resilience. Our team – knowledgeable in both cybersecurity and regulatory expectations – will audit areas such as: governance (is the board involved in ICT risk oversight?), protection (do you have adequate cybersecurity controls and access management?), detection (monitoring systems for intrusions), response and recovery (incident response plans, backup systems), and third-party risk management (contracts and oversight for cloud/IT providers). We also examine your incident reporting process, since under DORA any major ICT incident must be reported to regulators within tight deadlines. After this first-level audit, we deliver a detailed compliance scorecard and recommendations. If needed, we guide you through remedial steps like updating policies or conducting required tests (e.g. arranging threat-led penetration testing if you are a significant firm). Because DORA applies from January 2025 and will be actively supervised , an early audit is essential – it’s far better to discover and fix weaknesses internally now than to suffer an incident later and face regulatory action.
