Eyeglass manufacturer and retailer Warby Parker settled a 2018 data breach investigation by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) for $1.5 million.
During the breach, unauthorized third parties accessed customer accounts, compromising personal information of 197,986 patients.
OCR alleged three violations of the HIPAA Security Rule, including failure to conduct a proper risk analysis, implement adequate security measures, and review information system activity.
This settlement highlights the importance of conducting annual security risk assessments and implementing risk management programs.
