For our members from the UK or EU or just smart people in general.   
What laws cover the same ground in the UK and EU that correspond to  
HIPAA, SOX, GLB that mandate levels of control and protection for  
electronic records?  Oftentimes when we work overseas they comment  
that they are 1) NOT AS TIGHTLY CONTROLLED AS THE U.S.   2) REQUIRED  
TO BE MUCH MORE SECURE THAN THE U.S.

We have in addition ESI, Rule 26, Rule 37(f), Rule 45,  IRS Rev. Proc  
97-22 & 98-25, Spoliation of Media Requirements, Identity Theft and  
Privacy Acts, Industrial Espionage Acts, SEC Rule 17 a-4, plus the  
above.( HIPAA, SOX, GLB)

They have 95/46/EC Data Protection and we both have ISO 17799.  And  
many countries rely on NFPA Standards like NFPA 232 Protection of  
Records.  But do they have specific laws that match up for global  
control of records?
