Viverant PT operates as a healthcare provider headquartered in the United States, with its operations centered in Minnesota. The organization delivers medical services to patients and employs staff who support those services. As a healthcare provider, it handles personal health information, treatment records, and related administrative data for the individuals it serves. Its role involves managing clinical appointments, medical treatments, and the associated billing and insurance processes.

On March 1, 2021, Viverant PT experienced a data breach that compromised the personal and medical information of more than 6,500 patients and employees. The exposed data included names, addresses, Social Security numbers, driver’s license details, medical records, treatment information, payment card data, health insurance specifics, and financial account credentials. The breach originated from suspicious emails sent through an employee email account, which prompted an immediate response. Containment steps involved resetting passwords, strengthening authentication protocols, conducting staff training on phishing awareness, and engaging external security experts. Following the incident, the organization offered affected individuals complimentary credit monitoring services and reported the breach to appropriate government authorities. Details of the breach later appeared on regulatory portals after a delay from the initial discovery.
