When you could claim compensation for NHS cybersecurity breaches
NHS cybersecurity breaches can result in victims who lose control of their personal information to suffer substantial distress. Our healthcare data is precisely the kind that we want to maintain strict control over, so to have this control taken away from us is incredibly worrying.
If there has been a breach that has arisen from a lack of adequate cybersecurity, whether due to poor systems or human error, the organisation responsible for protecting data could be negligent. Any negligence could constitute a breach of the GDPR which could then entitle victims to pursue damages.
The GDPR can entitle anyone who has lost control over their personal information to pursue legal action to recover compensation for any distress and loss that has been caused. Our average compensation settlement is just over £6,000 in damages alone, but for medical matters, it is not uncommon for us to recover over £10,000 in damages for a client. This reflects the severity of what has happened and shows how the law can be used to achieve some form of justice for what a victim of a privacy breach has had to go through.

NHS cyberattacks since 2020
NHS cyberattacks since 2020 look to have become more prevalent for a number of reasons. One such reason is owing to the increased pressure that has arisen from the Coronavirus Pandemic, pressure which remains a factor to this day. Whilst healthcare services were working hard to make sure that people were helped as much as possible, matters such as cybersecurity may have easily fallen by the wayside. At the same time, ruthless hackers know that they can exploit at those sorts of times, so the risks were certainly increased.
Further, as with other industries, the risks of NHS cybersecurity breaches are much greater owing to the increased digitisation of society nowadays.
