It's completely unacceptable and unconscionable for European countries to transfer any part of their critical infrastructure to the US after the US have already weaponised existing dependencies- for example putting the ICC under sanctions and blocking their access to Microsoft services. The cowardice of EU countries is really disgusting.
The Dutch sold nexperia to the Chinese, recently decided that going to MS software for their tax division is the best option and now this. Higher ups seem to really be sleeping at the wheel.
Time to ditch DigiD?
Unfortunately we are locked in as citizens.
Maybe they should open up 'eHerkenning' to citizens as well instead of only companies. And a bit more competition should be good, like use your bank to sign-in into government services.
The alternatives iDIN and eHerkenning are commercial right? I know iDIN is from the banks and I definitely don't trust them. Unfortunately you can't do without them in today's society but I won't use them for this.
No, they should move DigiD out of that data center.
Pretty much all critical Dutch gov services are located in sovereign data centres across the Netherlands. Why they can't do it with DigiD baffles me. Especially because it is (or at least used to be) based on a plain Java and Oracle stack.
I wonder why people look at this like a deer in the headlights. Replace Solvinity/Kyndryl with another 'provider'. Hire some competent people to migrate and operate it.
One of the FAQ questions is: Will an American company soon be able to view my data?
This tells a lot about US street cred atm. This was added to the website not because of niche political activism but by a sizeable concern of the population.

DigiD should just remain a government operation.

If not DigiD, then what else would even qualify for 'SECRET NOFORN' ?
