Hawaii's breach notification statute (HRS Ch. 487N) requires notice to affected residents without unreasonable delay. Its attorney general threshold: 1,000 or more Hawaii residents (written notice to the Office of Consumer Protection). The HIPAA Breach Notification Rule ran alongside it: notice to affected individuals and to HHS without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days after discovery, which is the clock that put this filing on the portal.

Multiplying 45,853 individuals by IBM's $160 customer-PII cost per record (Cost of a Data Breach 2025, the figure the site's calculator uses) gives a modelled $7.34M; the 2026 edition's $192 gives $8.80M. Both are modelled estimates with the method shown, not costs disclosed by Hawaii Dental Group, Inc DBA Hawaii Family Dental. For scale, IBM's 2026 average cost of a healthcare breach is $6.64M, so this filing models at 1.3 times the sector average.
