Healthcare organizations seem to face an uphill battle in their efforts to stop and reduce the loss or theft of protected health information (PHI) or patient information. As is revealed in the Third Annual Benchmark Study released by the Ponemon Institue, many healthcare organizations struggle with a lack of technologies, resources and trained personnel to deal with privacy and data security risks.
The Ponemon Institute is considered the pre-eminent research center dedicated to privacy, data protection and information security policy. Their annual consumer studies on privacy trust are widely quoted in the media. Quantifying the cost of a data breach has become valuable to organizations seeking to understand the business impact of lost or stolen data.
