This rst edition of the American Bar Association’s What Are Inter -

national HIPAA Considerations? is the collective work of a team with

diverse backgrounds, experiences, and degree sets. This book is

tailored to encompass a broad audience, including lawyers, IT pro-

fessionals, businesses, and compliance ofcers.

In general, data breaches involving international law can arise

in one of two ways: (1) the business associate or subcontractor is

located in the foreign country; or (2) an attack is remotely conducted

on a U.S. entity by a person in a foreign country. The authors share

a common goal with the ABA Health Law Section and the ABA Inter-

national Law Section to lead and to shape national and international

discussion on prominent issues. The support of the ABA’s signicant

membership enables both the Health Law Section and the Interna-

tional Law Section to draw on a variety of vantage points. Without

the time and commitment of these sections’ Publication Commit-

tees, this book would not have been possible.

We, the authors, would like to thank the members of the ABA’s

staff for their time and for their insights. Their dedication is reected

in every facet of the book.

We hope you nd this book and its resources worthwhile.
