DISA Incident: Update on Review of ‘Potentially Affected Files’ and Notification Plan

Posted on February 3, 2025 by Dissent

On Thursday, Jan. 23, DISA Global Solutions, Inc. (DISA) provided an update to customers regarding its April 2024 cyber incident, including the results of its data review and notification plans. According to DISA, its investigation determined an unauthorized third party accessed its environment between Feb. 9, 2024, and April 22, 2024, and “procured some information.” A third-party e-discovery firm conducted a review of the affected files, which was recently completed.

DISA is a leading provider of employment screening services, including drug and alcohol testing and background checks. Clients that use DISA for employment screening should confirm whether they were affected with their HR teams.

Here are the main takeaways from the update:

  • The “potentially affected files” include personal information for current and former employees as well as prospective candidates. Based on its “detailed and time-intensive review” of the potentially affected files, DISA identified personal information related to its customers’ current or former employees as well as prospective candidates. The information involved varies, but it may include individuals’ names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers or state identification card numbers, dates of birth, and/or drug testing information.
  • DISA data has not been found on the dark web. DISA indicated it “took measures to dissuade the threat actor from publicly releasing any acquired data and to provide confirmation of the deletion of the data.” To date, DISA has no evidence of this data being released on the dark web. While this may provide comfort to some, it does not mean the data is not in the possession of bad actors and does not change potential notice obligations.
  • DISA is offering to provide notifications for customers. DISA stated that it will assume responsibility for notifying identified individuals. Companies that do not want DISA to perform notifications on their behalf must contact DISA no later than Feb. 14. With respect to regulatory reporting, DISA indicated it will notify state regulators – and provide a list of affected companies, if requested – and will assist ‘in any way [it] can’ with respect to federal notification obligations.

So it appears that DISA paid to get data allegedly deleted.
