Bergen Municipality: Insufficient technical and organisational measures to ensure information security

In October 2019, the Data Protection Authority was informed by the Municipality of Bergen about a data breach in connection with the municipality's tool for communication between school and home called 'Vigilo'. This tool contained a module that allowed school and parents to communicate via a portal or app but that had not been secured properly to ensure the protection of personal data against security threats.
