Why Microsoft 365 for healthcare

Microsoft 365 is the right productivity platform for most small medical practices: Microsoft will sign a Business Associate Agreement for qualifying plans, the infrastructure supports encryption in transit and at rest by default, and identity and access management via Entra ID gives you the controls HIPAA expects.

But a default M365 setup is not automatically HIPAA-compliant. It has to be configured that way.

What we configure

Microsoft BAA acceptance at the tenant level, multi-factor authentication enforced via Conditional Access, policies governing where and how users can access M365, unified audit log enabled with extended retention, message encryption for emails containing PHI, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies, Intune device management for company-owned devices, and SharePoint/OneDrive governance.

Licensing that matters

Typically Microsoft 365 Business Premium for small practices — the right balance of security and compliance features at a small-business price point.
