HIPAA compliance is regulated by which department and codified in which CFR part?

HIPAA compliance is handled by the Department of Health and Human Services, with enforcement led by the Office for Civil Rights. The HIPAA rules are codified in Title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations, primarily in Parts 160 and 164, which cover the Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules. The other departments cited regulate different privacy laws—for example, the Department of Education administers FERPA, codified in 34 CFR—so they do not govern HIPAA.
