Microsoft 365 for Healthcare Organizations
Your healthcare organization needs a cloud productivity platform that supports HIPAA compliance obligations and protects electronic protected health information (ePHI).
Microsoft 365 can be deployed in a HIPAA-compliant configuration. Microsoft provides a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) for covered entities and business associates, covering the Microsoft 365 services in scope.
HIPAA compliance is a configuration outcome, not a license. Microsoft 365 Business Premium provides the technical safeguards required by the HIPAA Security Rule — access controls through Entra ID, audit controls through Microsoft Purview, encryption through Azure Information Protection, and device management through Intune.
4TH AND BAILEY configures every healthcare deployment to HIPAA Security Rule technical safeguard requirements and aligns the configuration to NIST SP 800-53 and CISA SCuBA baselines. The BAA is executed with Microsoft as part of the deployment engagement.
