Agenda

• What you need to know about data breaches– What Are Data Breaches?– Cyber Threats and Trends– Recommended Proactive Efforts– Breach Response Best Practices

What is a Data Breach*?

• All breaches start as incidents, but not all incidents end up as breaches– "Incident" = attempted or successful unauthorized access,

use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of PHI/PII– "Breach" = acquisition, access, use, or disclosure of

PHI/PII [that poses a significant risk of financial, reputational, or other harm]*

Data Breach is a “Legal” Construct

* The definition of “data breach” varies across specific legislation and rules. In US states, many include a “harm threshold”

4

Data Privacy, Security, Breach Notification

• 46 states and three territories have breach laws– PII/PHI; 33 Have Harm-Test; Exceptions; Notification

Thresholds• FCRA, FACT Act, PCI-DSS

– Provide for security of financial data– FTC enforcement

• HIPAA/HITECH Privacy, Security, Breach Notification – Omnibus Rule just issued; HHS/OCR enforcement

Three Key Steps to Managing Risk*

• Risk assessment: the basis for security governance; assets in scope, dependencies, transparency

• Security measures: take appropriate measures; logical redundancy, monitoring & audits

• Incident reporting: mandatory reporting, legal consequences, data breach regulatory requirements

* European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA), Critical Cloud Computing, December, 2012

Best Practice Based on ENISA Framework for Effective Governance

If You Do Nothing Else…

• A risk assessment will– Inventory your organization’s data to understand your data

breach risk exposure– Review privacy & security policies/procedures to identify

gaps– Evaluate security technologies and controls– Review insurance for data breach coverage

Do a privacy and security risk assessment

10

When a Data Breach Occurs

• Small/medium-sized businesses must rely on a trusted partner– Help you determine if your incident is a breach– Develop a proportionate and compliant breach response– Provide the proper level of concern and care to the

affected individuals (customers)

Have a Plan

Not Necessarily.• Using YourResponse, you will realize lower costs by

– Formulating response that is least costly based on a victim risk profile

– Reducing risks of fines/penalties due to use of a rigorous and documented methodology
