  • Data Protection Compliance Audit of CNSS 2021
    Caisse Nationale de Sécurité Sociale (CNSS)

    The Commission de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CIL) conducted a formal control mission to verify the CNSS's compliance with personal data protection regulations. The audit focused on the security of social security data and the legal processing of citizen information.

    The audit identified areas for improvement in data retention policies and technical security measures, leading to a formal roadmap for compliance with Law No. 001-2021/AN.

  • OPERA1ER (Bluebottle) Financial Sector Attacks 2022
    Multiple Burkinabè Financial Institutions

    A sophisticated cybercriminal group, tracked as OPERA1ER or Bluebottle, targeted banks and telecommunications providers across Francophone Africa, including Burkina Faso. The group used 'living-off-the-land' techniques and commodity malware to infiltrate internal banking systems.

    The campaign resulted in estimated regional losses of over $11 million. It prompted a surge in demand for cybersecurity auditing and the adoption of the BCEAO Circular No. 01-2021-CB to mandate stricter IT risk management.
