We are investigating a cyber incident which has caused disruption across a limited part of the Ardonagh Group estate.
The incident was identified as a result of the routine comprehensive monitoring we have in place. We immediately took all necessary action including taking impacted systems offline and have implemented our business continuity plans in the impacted business units, to minimise disruption to our customers. We are working with third-party forensic and IT experts to manage the situation and are in the process of carrying out remedial action.
