OCR description
The covered entity (CE), TELUS Health, Ltd., reported that an internal access control error resulted in a cloud storage container containing protected health information (PHI) being publicly accessible via the internet. According to the breach report, the breach affected approximately 2,641 individuals. The PHI involved dates of birth, other identifiers, and diagnosis/conditions. The CE notified HHS and the affected individuals. In its mitigation efforts, the CE removed public access to the storage container and implemented additional monitoring controls to prevent a reoccurrence. OCR provided technical assistance to the CE regarding the HIPAA Rules and received evidence substantiating the CE’s notifications.
