In your opinion, have HIPAA laws been a success? I've worked in 2 roles where I was the part of the technical implementations of compliance... and man, the stories I could tell.

And HIPAA was always front and center with us, as it was with any such business or healthcare delivery organization that wished to continue as a going concern. We have to instill the same urgency on the personal data side, that HIPAA has instilled on the healthcare data side.
