Ohio Data Protection Act
What Ohio adds beyond HIPAA
The Ohio Data Protection Act offers an affirmative defense against certain data-breach claims to businesses that implement and maintain a cybersecurity program conforming to recognized frameworks. It specifically recognizes HIPAA and the HITECH Act as qualifying frameworks, so HIPAA compliance can directly support the safe-harbor defense.
Because the Act recognizes HIPAA as a qualifying framework, documented HIPAA training is part of building the program that earns the safe harbor. Workforce training is a core element of any recognized security framework.
