Overview
- Parliament is holding expert hearings today on the security risks of Kyndryl’s planned acquisition of Solvinity, which runs DigiD’s underlying technology with Logius.
- A majority in the Tweede Kamer wants an expedited debate on digital security before the mid-February spring recess.
- VVD MP Silvio Erkens says the deal should not proceed without binding assurances that personal data cannot be accessed.
- D66 leader and incoming prime minister Rob Jetten proposes appointing a minister specifically responsible for digital security.
- A petition opposing the takeover has roughly 87,000 signatures, and MPs note the cabinet must identify measures since Parliament cannot directly block private deals.
