‍What is a Data Security Breach?

A data security breach is when sensitive, confidential or protected information has either been disclosed in an unauthorized manner or has been illegally accessed (i.e. hacked).  Some examples of sensitive, confidential and/or protected information include PHI, PII, classified government information, and/or a business’ trade secrets.

Some notable security breaches from 2019 were a data breach involving a financial services firm affecting 106 million + people.  Let’s not forget FEMA! Government entities are not exempt from security breaches.  Last year, FEMA experienced a data breach that affected 2.3 million + individuals.

What is the Difference Between Data Security and Privacy?

Data security is how an organization protects their data through the use of specialty software such as cyber security applications.  Privacy is centered around the use and governance of personal data (PHI, PII, etc.).  For example, when a patient needs medical treatment they sign documents that authorize certain individuals (such as a primary care physician, insurance, spouse, etc.) access to their medical records from the treatment.  Anyone that is given or obtained access outside of those that were deemed allowed access would be considered a privacy breach.
