> The same common-sense regulations don’t exist for election systems. PCI and HIPAA are great successes that have gone a long way in protecting personally identifiable information and patient health conditions.
One of these is not like the other. ;)
PCI-DSS = Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. It’s not a regulation (as in law), it’s a self imposed industry standard as the name implies.
HIPAA - Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as in an actual law passed by Congress and signed into law by President Clinton.
While PCI can end up with huge fines and/or inability to process payment transactions for non-compliance, it’s not a law.
