FINALBeskrivelse
The DPA of Hessen has imposed a fine of EUR 2,500 on a doctor´s office. The controller hired an office manager who worked partly from home. The manager worked with patient files, which he stored at home. However, he did not lock or otherwise secure the files, which resulted in guests and family members having access to them. On one occasion, the manager asked his wife to send him photos of some files via a private messaging service because he had left them in his car, which his wife was using for a long trip.
