The CEPD is one of the European organizations in charge of ensuring the security of the personal data of citizens and companies. This week it has published a dossier with general recommendations for companies and administrations that serve as a complement to the work already published around the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union. One of the main novelties included in this document, to which modifications or suggestions can be sent until next March 2 through this link , is that hospitals will have to inform their patients whenever they suffer a computer attack. Although the incident does not lead to the theft of patients' health information and the hospital can mitigate it with a backup copy, the CEPD understands that it is necessary to provide explanations and information to those patients who may be affected by the attack. A ransomware attack attempts to lock down systems until victims pay a ransom to cybercriminals, so by its nature, it could cause delays in medical operations and treatments.
You can now differentiate the symptoms of cold, coronavirus and flu thanks to this app created by the Spanish Society of Immunology Companies and public administrations are obliged to report all types of attacks or attempted attacks that they suffer to the control bodies. In the case of Spain, this role is played by the Spanish Data Protection Europe Cell Phone Number List Agency (AEPD). However, companies only rarely report these types of incidents to their clients—or patients, in the case of a health center. The hospital will have to explain if the delays are due to computer attacks These exceptional occasions are due to the fact that very sensitive personal data, such as those related to health, could have been leaked during the attack.
However, in its new recommendations, the EDPB understands that "although in recent years patient data has been encrypted" - and therefore more secure - the data controller of an attacked hospital should inform patients that suffer delays in their operations or treatments. Basically, what the CEPD proposes is that health centers duly explain to patients who may be affected the reason for the possible delays they may suffer. All this is specified in one of the cases included in the dossier , with which the European organization tries to exemplify a large number of possible situations. Specifically, the CEPD asks what would happen if a hospital is attacked with ransomware but luckily no personal data has been leaked and the center can return to normal without paying any ransom thanks to the fact that they had a backup copy of their systems.
