Velma

National Cyber Security Centre

This system retrieves information on specific vulnerabilities (CVEs) from various sources. This information is used to generate summaries for different audiences. The summaries are then used to create brief descriptions and reports, which are shared on NCSC's public platforms.

  • Price announcement algorithm

    Consumer and Market Authority

    This algorithm helps the ACM find price announcements in messages that might say something about tacit or explicit alignment. This information by itself does not trigger action, but it can be a reason for inspectors to further investigate a possible infringement.

  • Anonymisation software

    Municipality of Brunssum

    The algorithm underlines personal data in documents. An employee has to review all pages and check whether the document is properly anonymised. Then the software removes all highlighted information and blacklists it. After that, the documents can be published, for example under the Open Government Act.
