One missing laptop. Millions in penalties.

They break down:

  • How a single stolen device triggered a massive HIPAA fine

  • What security safeguards were missing

  • How HIPAA compliance could have prevented this breach

  • The critical role of HIPAA-compliant cloud hosting in protecting PHI

  • What your organization can do to avoid similar fines and enforcement actions
