Protecting patient data across EHR systems, telehealth platforms, and clinical workflows. BluetechGreen delivers Microsoft 365 security configurations that meet HIPAA, HITECH, and state privacy requirements.
Your EHR is the clinical backbone. We build the secure Microsoft 365 layer around it so clinical staff can collaborate, communicate, and document without PHI ever leaving a controlled perimeter.
Epic and Cerner are the data sources of record. Microsoft 365 is where clinical teams communicate, schedule, and coordinate care. When those two worlds aren't explicitly secured together, PHI leaks happen — in Teams messages, in forwarded emails, in OneDrive shares that never expire. We close those gaps with Entra ID federated authentication, Conditional Access policies tuned for clinical workflows, and Purview DLP rules that understand the 18 HIPAA-defined PHI identifiers.
Telehealth platforms introduce a second surface. Personal devices connecting to video sessions from outside the network require a fundamentally different security model than managed clinical workstations. We configure Intune MAM to wrap the telehealth application with HIPAA-aligned policies — data encryption, screenshot blocking, copy/paste restrictions — without requiring the provider's personal phone to be fully enrolled in MDM.
Microsoft Teams is increasingly the clinical communication layer for care team coordination, care transitions, and secure messaging. We configure Teams for Healthcare with virtual appointments, patient-facing chat, and EHR-launched secure messaging that satisfies the HIPAA minimum necessary standard while preserving the speed clinicians need.
Entra ID federation with Epic and Cerner, SSO for clinical staff, and Conditional Access policies that enforce MFA without disrupting fast-paced clinical workflows.
Intune MAM policies for provider personal devices, screenshot and copy/paste controls inside the telehealth app, and Conditional Access enforcing compliant device checks before sessions launch.
Teams for Healthcare with virtual appointments, secure patient messaging, and EHR-launched care coordination channels — all scoped to minimum necessary PHI access.
HIPAA requires technical safeguards for PHI wherever it lives. We deploy Purview to classify, protect, and retain every piece of patient data in your Microsoft 365 environment.
HIPAA's Technical Safeguard requirements under §164.312 are specific: access controls, audit controls, integrity controls, and transmission security. Microsoft Purview addresses all four — but only if it's configured correctly for healthcare. Out-of-the-box sensitivity labels don't understand Epic discharge summaries or Cerner nursing notes. We train Purview's sensitive information types on your specific document patterns, then build DLP policies that distinguish between a nurse sending a care summary to a consulting physician (allowed) and the same document going to a personal Gmail address (blocked with an alert).
HIPAA and HITECH together mandate a minimum six-year retention period for most PHI-related documentation. We configure Purview retention policies at the mailbox, SharePoint site, and Teams channel level — with litigation hold overrides that suspend deletion when a patient complaint or investigation is opened — and produce monthly retention compliance reports for your privacy officer.
Purview trained on the 18 HIPAA PHI identifiers. DLP policies block exfiltration by email, Teams, and USB with clinical-workflow-aware exceptions that don't obstruct care coordination.
AES-256 encryption at rest for Exchange, SharePoint, and OneDrive. TLS 1.2+ enforced for all PHI in transit. Customer-managed keys available for organizations with heightened regulatory requirements.
Six-year HIPAA-aligned retention policies across all M365 workloads. Purview Audit Premium with 180-day log retention and on-demand forensic exports for breach investigation or OCR inquiry.
Clinical environments have the most complex device landscape in any industry. Managed workstations, shared nursing stations, personal phones, and IoT-adjacent medical devices all need a coherent security policy.
Healthcare organizations typically operate three distinct device tiers simultaneously: fully managed clinical workstations enrolled in Intune MDM; shared workstations at nursing stations that multiple staff members touch in a single shift; and personal devices that providers bring from home to access telehealth or after-hours patient communications. Each tier requires a different Intune policy profile, and conflating them creates either security gaps or workflow friction that drives dangerous shadow IT behavior.
We profile all three tiers, build separate Intune compliance policies for each, and configure Microsoft Defender for Endpoint across the managed fleet. Shared workstations receive Intune Kiosk mode with automatic session timeouts aligned to the HIPAA §164.312(a)(2)(iii) automatic logoff requirement. Personal devices receive Intune MAM-only enrollment — HIPAA-compliant app policies without full device management — preserving provider autonomy while protecting PHI inside corporate applications.
Full MDM enrollment for managed clinical workstations, laptops, and tablets. Compliance policies enforcing disk encryption, screen lock, and Defender for Endpoint enrollment as prerequisites for M365 access.
Intune MAM-only enrollment for provider personal devices. HIPAA-compliant policies inside each app — PIN, encryption, copy/paste restrictions, remote wipe of corporate data only — without touching personal photos or apps.
Intune Kiosk mode with automatic session timeouts, fast user switching via Windows Hello PIN, and per-session audit logging that tracks which staff member accessed PHI during each shift login.
Healthcare is the most targeted sector for ransomware and data theft. Our 24/7 SOC monitors your Microsoft 365 and Azure environment with detection rules tuned specifically for healthcare threat patterns.
Healthcare organizations face a unique threat profile: ransomware groups that specifically target EHR availability because patient safety pressure accelerates ransom payment decisions; business email compromise attacks targeting billing departments with knowledge of healthcare reimbursement workflows; and insider threats from staff with broad PHI access granted for clinical necessity. Generic SIEM rules miss all of these. We deploy Microsoft Sentinel with a healthcare-specific detection rule library covering EHR access anomalies, after-hours bulk PHI export, and credential spray patterns targeting clinical staff accounts.
HIPAA Breach Notification Rule requires covered entities to notify affected individuals within 60 days of discovering a breach. Our incident response playbooks are pre-built for healthcare: the first 24 hours of a ransomware event, the forensic log pull for an OCR investigation, the evidence package for cyber insurance notification. When an incident occurs, you're executing a rehearsed plan, not improvising under pressure.
Healthcare-tuned analytics rules covering EHR access anomalies, bulk PHI export, after-hours logins, and ransomware precursor behaviors. Custom workbooks for your privacy officer and CISO.
Pre-built HIPAA breach notification playbooks. Documented incident response procedures aligned to OCR investigation requirements, with forensic log packages that can be assembled in hours, not days.
Monthly HIPAA compliance posture reports drawn from Purview Compliance Manager, Defender for Endpoint, and Sentinel. Board-ready summary dashboards and granular drill-downs for your privacy officer.
Yes. We execute a HIPAA-compliant BAA before beginning any engagement. Microsoft 365 also provides a BAA covering all applicable services under your tenant agreement, and we document both in your compliance record.
We configure Entra ID federated authentication for Epic and Cerner, enforce MFA via Conditional Access, and deploy Purview DLP policies that detect and block PHI exfiltration attempts in email, Teams, and SharePoint — without interfering with clinical workflows.
We integrate telehealth platforms with Entra ID for SSO, enforce Conditional Access for clinical staff connecting from personal devices, and configure Intune MAM policies that protect PHI in the telehealth app without requiring the provider's personal phone to be fully enrolled in MDM.
We deploy Microsoft Purview Information Protection with trained sensitive information types for PHI (18 HIPAA identifiers), configure DLP policies to block PHI transmission over unencrypted channels, and generate monthly compliance reports that document policy enforcement statistics.
We configure Intune shared device mode with fast user switching, automatic session timeouts aligned to HIPAA §164.312(a)(2)(iii), and Windows Hello for Business allowing nurses and physicians to authenticate quickly with a PIN or badge tap.
