Those are external acronyms, and in common usage in the USA; do they
need to be spelled out? Frankly, I use them and have no idea what they
stand for. What do other people think?
PCI is payment card industry. I think that one is fairly well known across IT globally, because it's a global standard.
HIPAA I have no idea what the acronym means, and very little about what it means to people either. AFAIK that's a US only standard, and for that reason it would probably be a good idea to spell it out.
