OCR published a memo on Aug 1, 2016. The title is "Do you know who your employees are?". It is a great reminder about insider threats that we should all worry about regularly.
Quoted directly from the memo. ============================ Although all insider threats are not malicious or intentional, the effect of these threats can be damaging to a Covered Entity and Business Associate and have a negative impact on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its ePHI.
According to a survey recently conducted by Accenture and HfS Research, 69% of organization representatives surveyed had experienced an insider attempt or success at data theft or corruption. Further, it was reported by a Covered Entity that one of their employees had unauthorized access to 5,400 patient's ePHI for almost 4 years.
