After working for Canada's Defence, I certainly don't trust how they protect military members' medical data. It's on a separate network which requires asymmetric crypto for access, but the actual data has yet to be encrypted. I think that's unsafe, considering how it's common practice now.

Encryption is supposed to be a rule but the exceptions and loopholes mean very little is properly encrypted. Most medical privacy rules can be met by implementing drive-level encryption, transparent encryption that protects only against hard drives being stolen but does nothing to prevent data extraction from a live drive. A small medical office can probably get away with simply turning on bitlocker.
