Stolen Laptop Triggers $1.55 Million Fine for HIPAA Violation
The Retirement Plan Blog Link to more items from this source
Mar. 22, 2016
"[The alleged violation] arose from the theft of a laptop from a locked vehicle owned by a contractor's employee. The laptop, which was password protected, contained the individually identifiable personal health information of 9,497 individuals.... There is no indication in the public record that any individual was actually damaged by the claimed data security breach.... NMHC was cited ... not having a Business Associate (BA) agreement with the contractor and not conducting an adequate analysis of security threats to the PHI maintained, accessed and transmitted across NMHC's IT network."
