On 9 May 2023 the Information Regulator (Regulator) issued an Enforcement Notice to the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (DoJ&CD) following the finding of the contravention of various sections of the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) by the DoJ&CD. In September 2021 the DoJ&CD suffered a security compromise on its IT systems. This led to the department's systems being unavailable to its employees and subsequently affecting services to the public. The Regulator conducted an own initiative assessment after the Department suffered a security compromise (data breach).
In September 2021, the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development s website was hacked, locking out its employees from accessing important files necessary for service delivery.
