Commissioner Cavoukian expects health sector to encrypt all health information on mobile devices: Nothing short of this is acceptable
Summary TORONTO – Ontario Information and Privacy Commissioner, Dr. Ann Cavoukian, today directed the province’s health sector not remove from their premises any personal health information on mobile devices – unless this very sensitive information is encrypted, as required in a health order issued in 2007.

This follows the loss last week of a USB key containing the health information of almost 84,000 patients who attended H1N1 flu vaccination clinics in the Durham Region.
