You're right on that, Christopher. It's not a requirement. However, if an org does not encrypt, they do need to document that fact and why they didn't implement it. We've looked into it to a small degree but haven't started doing it (and, hopefully, won't).

Exchange 5.5 Windows 2000. We are a healthcare organization. We wre looking to implement an encryption package that is as easy as possible for the sender and the receiver. With HIPAA looming, all Patient Health Information (PHI) that is sent outside our organization must be encrypted. Does anyone have experience with encryption and PHI data? We are looking into the future where other groups of people will also use this product to encrypt information that they send outside the organization. Any guidance on these products would be greatly appreciated.
