On January 29, 2010, there was a break-in at one of the Thrivent's offices and five laptop computers were stolen; four of the five laptops were recovered. The missing laptop computer contained the protected health information of approximately 9,400 individuals. The protected health information involved in the breach included name, address, date of birth, social security number, prescription drugs, medical condition, age, weight, etc. Thrivent provided OCR with additional controls to remedy causes of security breach at various stages of implementation. The actions taken by the CE prior to OCR's formal investigation brought the CE into compliance. \
