Full breach record for BST & CO. CPAS, LLP →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.
HHS OCR settled a HIPAA Security Rule investigation with BST & Co. CPAs, LLP regarding a ransomware incident. BST failed to conduct a required risk analysis for ePHI it held from Community Care Physicians. The breach affected 170,000 individuals. BST agreed to pay $175,000 and implement a Corrective Action Plan including risk analysis, risk management plan, policies, and training.

Attacker assertion only. Establishes: claim date, group, alleged victim.
Unlocks: incident narrative, operational impact. Still no compliance clock.
Unlocks: discovery date, data types, affected count, compliance clock.
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.
