Comment on Ask HN: How do I set up a HIPAA-compliant server?parent

Comments

Depending on what function you are providing for HIPAA-covered entities, you may need to also deal with the Transactions and Code Sets rule, though the rules related to PHI are usually all people are aware of.

One should also note that the Breach Notification rule, through its definition of what constitutes unsecured PHI, actually sneaks in technical requirements that entities dealing with PHI probably should treat as near-mandatory for encryption, etc., since, even though they aren't strictly mandatory, significantly impact the likelihood of a reportable breach.
