An unsecured laptop containing the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of approximately 563 individuals was stolen from the car of a business associate's (BA) subcontractor. The PHI included names, addresses, dates of birth, and social security numbers. Following the breach, the covered entity (CE) notified affected individuals, HHS, and the media, and offered all affected individuals one year of free credit monitoring services. The breach incident involved a BA and occurred prior to the September 23, 2013, compliance date. OCR verified that the CE had a proper BA agreement in place that restricted the BA's use and disclosure of PHI and required the BA to safeguard all PHI. \ \
