This is the thing. HIPAA is really a gold standard in data security legislation. As terrible as it is (e.g. the fax machine loophole, which is surely put there for lawyers), at least there's something punitive. And other things can be tied to it: grants, FDA can disbar them from collaborating in drug development, etc.
Imagine breach notifications for a company like Facebook. FCC could disbar you from transmitting data over mobile networks.
