What Hacker News says

Actually HIPAA is pretty strict on application and infrastructure security. HIPAA's Security Rule has 3 main sections: Administrative Safeguards, Technical Safeguards and Physical Safeguards. Administrative Safeguards = basically encompasses what you described. Technical Safeguards = encryption, authentication, authorization, audit control, etc. Physical Safeguards = media (e.g., HD) disposal/reuse, data backup/restore, access control and validation procedures, etc. TrueVault handles Technical and Physical Safeguards. Companies like AccountableHQ.com does a great job taking care of Administrative Safeguards for their customers.
