Had a customer ask today, "On our computers, e-mail, etc, is there encryption? The new HITECH ACT rules go into effect and I need some guidance to make sure that we are compliant with necessary encryption standards."

Found:

and
http://www.healthleadersmedia.com/content/231330/topic/WS_HLM2_TEC/HITECH-Panic-Not-Now-At-Least.html

Question:
Can anyone input on specific MSP/tech requirements? Anyone have any background or knowledge here? Can anyone share helpful links? Thank you!

Idea:
I can see how this can help bring new business. I suggest we all prepare.
