If the last two months are any sign, healthcare organizations appear to be putting more emphasis on adhering to the required 60-day window to report data breaches.
In April, it took organizations an average of 51 days to discover a breach occurred and 59 days to report it to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), according to the Protenus Breach Barometer report. Approximately two-thirds of organizations reported the breach within the 60-day time frame.
Healthcare organizations reported similar response times in March, when the average time to report a breach to HHS was 45 days.
