Government Fails To Enforce Health Security Standards
7.1
An IT expert and RNZ reported this week that nearly 120,000 Manage My Health user records were accessed amid wider concerns about digital health security, after two weeks of related incidents including a mid-2025 Canopy Health breach. Callum McMenamin said the government has not been checking compliance with its health information security framework and urged enforceable standards and mandatory multi-factor authentication.
Key Points
- 1Reports confirm Manage My Health breach exposed about 120,000 users from nearly two million accounts
- 2Expert warns government lacks enforcement of its health information security framework standards
- 3Recommend enforceable technical standards, mandatory multi-factor authentication, and penalties for noncompliant private providers
