THE ICO WARNS UK ORGANISATIONS USING SOLARWINDS ORION PLATFORM

23.12.2020

The Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”) has announced on its website that organisations using SolarWinds Orion platform should check whether personal data they hold has been affected.

It is stated that SolarWinds was the victim of a cyber-attack where a vulnerability was inserted into its Orion platform so that Organisations should immediately check whether they are using a version of the software that has been compromised.

Moreover, the ICO reminds that organisations subject to the NIS Regulation will also need to determine if this incident has led to a “substantial impact on the provision’ of its digital services, and report to the ICO.
