The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) has sanctioned and fined the Registrar of Companies (ORC) GHC 240,000 for engaging the services of an unlicensed cyber security service provider.
“The sanction against the ORC follows the CSA’s determination that the institution engaged Pipeline Solutions Limited, an entity not licensed by the CSA to provide cybersecurity services, despite being specifically directed to engage a Tier 1 licensed CSP,” the CSA said in a statement.
“Despite these directives, the ORC proceeded to engage Purpleline Solutions Limited Company. The CSA considers the ORC’s failure to comply with its directives a violation of Section 92 of the Cybersecurity Act.”
It also noted that Purpleline Solutions Limited was fined GHC 120,000.
