OCR description
On December 15, 2009, a safe was stolen from Goodwill's off-site facility, which contained five unencrypted back-up tapes. The breach affected approximately 10,000 individuals. The protected health information involved in the breach included full names, addresses, dates of birth, reasons for referral, dates of service, miscellaneous demographics, and, in some cases, Social Security numbers. The covered entity moved the off-site storage of back-up tapes to a new site controlled by Goodwill. The tapes are now kept in a commercial grade safe with a combination lock. The actions taken by Goodwill prior to OCR's formal investigation brought the covered entity into compliance.
