FINALBeskrivelse
The Italian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 30,000 on Bolzano municipality. The Bolzano health authority had reported a data breach to the DPA involving unauthorized access to the health records of a number of patients, which was caused by a deficiency in the electronic health record service that the municipality had delegated to a processor. During its investigation, the DPA found that although the leak occurred at the processor's site, the municipality should have taken appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that such incidents would be avoided.
