The company is working with external cybersecurity experts, has informed the data protection regulator, and is expediting its move to cloud-based systems.
A regulatory investigation into the incident is underway, contributing to a temporary drop in CVS Group's market capitalization.
While the company's UK operations have been impacted, international operations continue without interruption.
Following the cyberattack news, CVS Group's stock experienced a downturn but has subsequently regained stability.
