Manitoba: Ombudsman issues Privacy Breach Practices report
The Manitoba Ombudsman released, on 20 December 2016, its survey report 'Privacy Breach Practices in Manitoba' in which it issued guidance on data breaches for companies specified under the Personal Health Information Act 2010 ('PHIA') ('the Report'), following a consultation with 238 organisations.
In the Report, the Ombudsman issued guidance to all health custodians to assist them in complying with their data security obligations under PHIA. In particular, the Report includes best practices on voluntary breach notification and reporting covering issues such as the use of de-identification and encryption, internal documentation of breaches, the establishment of privacy breach policies for staff, and the inclusion of data security and notification obligations in contracts with third parties.
