The covered entity (CE), NorthWest Congenital Heart Care, reported that an unencrypted external hard drive was stolen from one of its offices. The hard drive contained the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 1,166 individuals.

In its mitigation efforts, the CE strengthened its administrative and technical safeguards and retrained its staff to better protect ePHI.
