OCR description
On July 15, 2019, Colorado Eye Center (COC) informed OCR that retinal scans had been impermissibly accessed during a ransomware attack on October 19, 2018. Upon review of the breach report, OCR determined that the retinal scans did not contain sufficient information to be individually identifiable. Therefore the information was not subject to the Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules and its access did not meet the definition of a breach. OCR closed the breach report without further action.
