healthcare data breach spikes
July 11, 2022

Healthcare data breach spikes in recent years

Healthcare data breach spikes in recent years have been triggered by the increasing digitisation of society, and as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Unfortunately, whilst efficiency can be achieved through moving how we work and how we operate into digital infrastructure, the risks can be substantial. Any defence when it comes to information is only as good as its weakest link, and we saw cybercriminals exploiting vulnerabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic where healthcare industry staff were under substantial amounts of pressure in managing the virus.

Whilst we can see the reasoning as to how these spikes occur, the importance of data protection cannot be understated. When it comes to the impact on the victims, we are here as Specialist Data Breach Lawyers to help people.

Claim compensation for a healthcare data breach

Healthcare professionals owe several duties to their patients, one of which is ensuring that their medical information remains confidential and is only used and shared with other doctors when necessary for diagnosis and treatment purposes. This central tenet of the medical profession is something all doctors learn in their training. However, unfortunately, the integrity of our doctors is being let down all too frequently by data protection negligence across the healthcare sector. When a healthcare data breach occurs, it can put one of the central requirements of medical practice at risk.

The healthcare sector is one of the most vulnerable sectors in terms of cyberattacks, but is also one plagued by human error data breaches, in which the employees themselves are responsible for the exposure of private information. If you have felt the repercussions of a healthcare data breach, you may well know the harm that can be caused to the victims.

We have pursued many data breach compensation claims relating to the healthcare sector over the years, including group and multi-party actions such as the infamous 56 Dean Street clinic data breach. We encourage anyone affected by a breach like this to come forward for advice on their potential claim, and we can offer No Win, No Fee legal representation for eligible clients.

Confidential information exposed in a data breach

As data records become subjected to increasing digitisation, the security of personal information is increasingly dependent on strong cyber defences as well as the traditional user regulations for employees who have access to the information. Both cybersecurity and user policy must work effectively and in harmony to allow for successful data protection, as even the slightest of missteps could compromise entire systems. Victims who have had their confidential information exposed in a data breach will know this fact all too well.

Victims can become worried and stressed in the aftermath of data breaches, which is entirely understandable given how severely their privacy can be compromised and how many risks it can becomes exposed to.

As specialist Data Breach Lawyers, we want to ensure that all those affected by breaches of data protection law have an opportunity to access the justice they deserve. Pursuing compensation claims can help to hold data controllers to account for the harm they have caused, and we can offer No Win, No Fee legal representation.
