Privacy regulations -- HIPPA, SEC, S/OX, FINRA, and RIA -- present very specific requirements. Google Apps Standard Edition (free version) does not meet these standards.
Google Apps Premier Edition, with full SSL encryption enabled, meets these requirements for information access and storage. If you use Google Message Discovery, part of Google Postini Services, your historical archives are also compliant.
With respect to HIPPA and some privacy laws (such as MA 201 CMR 17.00), emails should be scanned for personal information and blocked or encrypted. As such, full compliance would require adding a service such as Zix.
