Abstract

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) privacy and security regulations are two crucial provisions in the protection of healthcare data. Governance, compliance and auditing are becoming as important pedagogical subjects as long established financial auditing and financial control. Designing sound IT governance, compliance, and auditing is a challenging task. This paper elaborates the concept of HIPAA compliance in cloud computing by taking a look at the history and dynamics. Cloud computing changes the astir of certain parts of HIPAA Security requirements. We briefly describe the cyber warfare as a premise to enforce the reasons for complying with government regulations for information systems. We discuss the compliance issues of HIPAA with specific reference to cloud computing.
