Question

While processing the HIPAA data the cloud storing should be avoided?

Answer 1

The answer is the company’s e-mails.

While processing the HIPAA data in the cloud, storing the company’s e-mails should be avoided.  

If the e-mails are stored, there are chances of them getting exposed unintentionally and/or targeted by attackers directly. Therefore, both the e-mails and the attachments in them must undergo encryption during the entire data lifecycle.
