Strengthen M365 Security & Compliance Architecture

We strengthen our healthcare client's security posture by using Microsoft Purview and Defender to classify data, enable compliant inter‑agency sharing, protect PHI across M365, block phishing threats, and enforce secure access through Entra ID and governance policies.

  • USE CASE 1: Classify, map, and govern structured and unstructured data across healthcare client's agencies
    • Example
      • Use Data Map and Catalog to track data lineage from Medicaid claims systems through Power BI reports, and provide transparency for audit and policy review.
  • USE CASE 2: Enable secure inter-agency data sharing (e.g., between health and human services).
    • Example
      • Create governance policies in Purview to control who can access shared datasets for opioid treatment tracking while maintaining HIPAA compliance.
  • USE CASE 3: Protect heathcare client's patients PII and PHI across Teams, SharePoint, and Outlook.
    • Example
      • Apply Sensitivity Labels and DLP rules to enforce encryption on emails containing patient data. Enable Insider Risk policies to detect inappropriate data handling by internal users.
  • USE CASE 4: Stop phishing attacks targeting public health officials
    • Example
      • Configure Safe Attachments and Safe Links, train users via Attack Simulation Training, and analyze threat patterns targeting rural clinics.
  • USE CASE 5: Enable secure Single Sign-On and Conditional Access for healthcare client's health vendors and contractors.
    • Example
      • Set up identity governance for external partners delivering health education in schools, ensuring secure access to SharePoint resources without overprovisioning.
