Dutch Govt Locks DigiD to European Hands

The Dutch government is tightening control over DigiD, its digital ID system, by mandating that only European companies can handle it after August 28, 2024, under a special security law. This move blocks U.S. and UK firms like Kyndryl and Solvinity from continuing involvement, fearing foreign government access to sensitive data. They’re also upgrading encryption for DigiD and MijnOverheid to meet new security standards — all to keep Dutch digital identity secure.
