Governance, compliance and auditing are becoming as important pedagogical subjects as long established financial auditing and financial control. Designing sound IT governance, compliance, and auditing is a challenging task. This paper elaborates the concept of HIPAA compliance in cloud computing by taking a look at the history and dynamics.
