HIPAA is a super vague standard on the tech side. PCI is much more specific and frankly better even though its meant for a different purpose and both were written by different types of entities. It may have changed since I worked with it, but one example I remember is HIPAA standards say to use a firewall. PCI standards say to use a firewall, document rules, review them quarterly with a formal process and separation of duties, and conduct external third party scans to look for vulnerabilities. I'm glad HIPAA is getting an update, but it could really use an overhaul.
