Look up how often HIPAA investigations turn into monetary fines. It’s comically small and essentially only affects big hospitals, universities, and insurance companies.
The agency likes to report “enforcement actions” which include fines but 99% of the time are some kind of promise to do better in the future.
HIPAA violations are one of those things the public thinks are super serious but in reality are all but a total joke.
And don’t get me started on HIPAA compliance consultants lol. Reminds me of Lisa Simpson selling Homer her magic rock that keeps away tigers.
