Associates in Psychiatry and Psychology

The covered entity (CE), Associates in Psychiatry and Psychology, reported that it was the victim of a ransomware attack that affected the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 6,546 individuals. The ePHI involved included names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and clinical information. In its mitigation efforts, the CE transferred its data to an encrypted cloud-based server and implemented additional administrative and technical safeguards to better protect its sensitive data. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions noted. The practice was subsequently sold to another organization.
