12 Nov 2024 Uptime-IT ApSDenmark: 40,000 DKK against IT service provider with unusable backups after ransomware DenmarkData processors €5,363

As processor for a chiropractic practice, the IT service provider had encrypted backups without securing the key; after a ransomware attack in 2020, patient data including health information and CPR numbers could not be restored. The Danish data protection authority (Datatilsynet) reported the company to the police and proposed 50,000 DKK; the court sentenced it to a fine of 40,000 DKK on 12 November 2024.

What organisations can take from it

A backup only counts if restoration is tested regularly – including access to the keys.
