What are the repercussions of non-compliance with HIPAA?
Failure to comply with HIPAA requirements could result in significant financial loss through civil penalties and damage to brand and reputation. HIPAA states that civil penalties up to $100 per day per person can be issued for non-compliance. While this does not seem like a large sum, it can quickly add up. If student health information was exposed for 1000 students over the course of 30 days, the fines could reach $3,000,000.
