    Access Delayed, Ransom Paid, Cyber Aid Conveyed

    Is your healthcare organization ready for a triple threat, or are you playing a risky game of cybersecurity roulette with delayed access, ransomware demands, and a missing incident response plan? Today, we explore three tales in healthcare that are equal parts cautionary and compelling. We kick things off with the Healthcare and Public Health Sector Coordinating Council’s shiny new cyber incident response checklist—aka your cheat sheet for keeping calm in the face of chaos. Then, we give you the juicy details of a hefty civil money penalty slapped on a healthcare entity for dragging their feet on providing patient records (spoiler alert: patience isn’t a virtue when it comes to HIPAA). Finally, we unravel the saga of a ransomware attack that not only encrypted data but also emptied some wallets. Whether you’re here to learn, laugh, or just feel better about your own compliance game, this episode’s got you covered. Buckle up, because the HIPAA ride is wild!

    Thankful It Is Not Me

    Feeling thankful this season? Us too—especially when it comes to dodging data disasters! In this episode, Donna and David dive headfirst into some eyebrow-raising cybersecurity tales, from job application breaches exposing sensitive information to the ever-creepy risks of unsecured IoT devices (yes, even your vacuum might be plotting against you). Whether it’s researchers discovering unsecured data files or hackers turning robot vacuums into racially inappropriate terrors, we’re reminded to never take our digital safety for granted. Grab your popcorn (or an encrypted snack, if that’s a thing) and join us as we talk about what it means to truly be grateful for solid security practices this year.

    First SRA Violation Settlement

    Doing a half-baked risk analysis is like locking your front door but leaving all the windows wide open. What’s the point?  Today, we dive into the first-ever Security Risk Assessment (SRA) violation settlement—a juicy topic for compliance nerds and healthcare pros alike. We’re talking ransomware, compliance checklists (the kind you actually need), and why a “kinda-sorta risk analysis” isn’t going to cut it with the OCR. Along the way, we’ll break down the $90K fine, the three-year corrective action plan, and what this means for everyone still winging their HIPAA risk assessments. Time to up your game folks!
