Is SharePoint HIPAA compliant?
SharePoint Online can be configured to be HIPAA compliant, but compliance requires proper configuration — it is not automatic. Required steps include: executing a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with Microsoft; enabling Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels and data loss prevention (DLP) policies; configuring access controls and audit logging for PHI; implementing retention policies; and conducting regular access reviews. Our healthcare SharePoint practice has helped 50+ healthcare organizations achieve and maintain HIPAA compliance, with zero compliance incidents reported.
