Attack vectors
Breakdown of breach types reported across 18 incidents in New York. Understanding which vectors dominate helps practices prioritize their security controls.
New York compliance requirements
Beyond federal HIPAA requirements, New York has its own breach notification law that may impose additional obligations on healthcare practices operating in the state.
N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 899-aa
Notification deadline
Most expedient time possible
No fixed deadline — but unreasonable delay can result in enforcement action.
Attorney General notification
Required
New York's Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security (SHIELD) Act requires reasonable data security safeguards and expands the definition of private information. It applies to any entity holding NY residents' data, regardless of where the entity is located.
New York requires notification to the AG, Department of State, and Division of State Police — not just one agency.
New York defines a breach broadly to include unauthorized access to (not just acquisition of) computerized data.
This is a general reference based on current New York law. Consult legal counsel for state-specific compliance obligations. Source: N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 899-aa. Verified April 2026.
