HIPAA doesn't say anywhere you can't outsource AV and AS. In fact it doesn't really say much in 600 and some odd pages except you have to be able to show intent to protect your data. Sort of like an ISO plan. Make the plan and follow the plan. Too many HIPAA consultants and freaked out Mangers spent way too much time reading the regs and reading way too much into them. Then in turn shove way too many non existent rules on hapless fools. It's just not that hard. M

Well Eric, there was also HIPAA regulation and confusion about what/how that would impact it that helped take an outsourced solution off the table. As the product that we installed for HIPAA complaicne also had SPAM / AV gateway software there seemed no point to outsourcing. At least that was managements partial reason.
