Client Need
When a large healthcare provider experienced a MOVEit transfer attack, their forensic investigation provider determined that sensitive information of 2 million+ patients had been breached. Epiq was contacted by the organization, their insurer, and breach coach for support to immediately assess the impact of the breach and implement a response program within 5 business days.
Epiq solution
Epiq’s Cyber Incident Response team quickly launched a multi-faceted breach response program:
- Incident identification: Validated the MOVEit attack and exfiltration of data with client’s forensic investigation provider.
- Project management: Assigned a designated incident response project manager to guide the client through every stage and coordinate communication across all parties.
- Data Review: Reviewed data to determine more than 2 million contacts had been impacted and would require notification, call center support, and monitoring.
- Data Mining: The nature of the affected files required a manageable level of data mining within a short time frame.
- Notification: More than 2 million contacts had been affected and required notification, call center support, and monitoring. While Epiq’s print and mail capacity is 2 million+ letters per day, in this case the client opted to send the letters out over the course of a week for a more even flow of incoming calls to the call center.
