Coverage and limitations

Records come from regulatory reports, organization disclosures, news coverage, and existing breach datasets.

Coverage is uneven. US healthcare and selected state reporting systems are overrepresented. Many sources omit the breach mechanism.

Multiple records for one organization may describe separate breaches or additional reporting on the same breach.
