In early Oct the long awaited guidance on HIPAA Compliant Cloud was released by HHS / OCR. There wasn't a lot of shocking information for us since it just restated, maybe more clearly, that cloud services providers (CSPs) must sign a BAA and meet certain obligations as a BA.
Hopefully, this will address all the cases where some CSPs would use "slight of hand" with phrasing to claim they didn't have to be a HIPAA compliance cloud provider.

This episode is a review of that post and the fact sheet with OCR guidance on ransomware and HIPAA that the post announced.
