Microsoft&#8217;s HIPAA BAA is incorporated into the Microsoft Product Terms by default for qualifying customers, and Azure Health Data Services is HITRUST CSF certified for HIPAA and GDPR alignment. Coverage is service-level, so each service must be validated for PHI use.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"3.What services in AWS are HIPAA-eligible for healthcare workloads?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"AWS lists 166+ HIPAA-eligible services, including S3, EC2, RDS, Lambda, KMS, CloudTrail, HealthLake, Comprehend Medical, SageMaker, Glue, Redshift, Athena, and Amazon Bedrock.
