What is NEC code regarding updating pre-1960 (no ground) wiring in receptacles?

My son recently moved into a house built in 1957 that has an updated panel with ground connected to the buss bar. However, the receptacles I've checked are old two-pronged receptacles in metal boxes fed by 14/2 romex.
I believe that NEC code requires these outlets be GFCI protected to comply with current code. Is this correct?
I've checked other questions and can't find a specific answer to this question.
