A large percentage of law firms appear to have insufficient security measures in place to ensure compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), a recent survey reveals.

Examples of HIPAA non-compliance found in the survey cited by Legal Workspace include e-mail encryption, executed business associate agreements, retaining and reviewing access logs, and intrusion detection systems.
