Regulator's decision — not a breach notification

This record is a regulator's decision, not the organisation's own breach notice. Breach-notification fields (discovery date, notification clock) are structurally absent — what this source establishes is the outcome and the provisions the decision cites.

Cottage Health, operating several hospitals in California, agreed to pay $3 million to settle potential HIPAA violations. The settlement includes a corrective action plan.

Evidence ladder

Leak-site claim

Attacker assertion only. Establishes: claim date, group, alleged victim.

Press / market report

Unlocks: incident narrative, operational impact. Still no compliance clock.

State AG / regulator filingThis record

Unlocks: discovery date, data types, affected count, compliance clock.

SEC 8-K / victim statement

Unlocks: materiality, stated response, full audit trail. Ceiling removed.

Source ceiling

  • instrument + outcome
  • amount as filed (USD)
  • CFR provisions
  • the breach it recites
  • discovery date
  • notification clock

The dates the agreement recites belong to the underlying breach, years earlier, and are kept as evidence of WHICH breach rather than as this record’s timeline.
