The most critical consideration when handling healthcare data is compliance with healthcare regulations like HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). These regulations set standards for the protection of sensitive patient information and ensure that data is handled securely and confidentially. While encryption and access control are important security measures, they fall under the broader requirement of regulatory compliance.
