A product and operations framework for SaaS providers that may create, receive, maintain, or transmit PHI.

Reviewed August 2026

Key considerations

  • Service scope, tenant isolation, support access, logs, backups, subprocessors, and deletion behavior all affect the analysis.
  • A BAA supports the relationship but does not replace secure product design and customer configuration.
  • Product changes and new integrations can change data flows and risk.

Starting points

  • Create a current data-flow and service inventory.
  • Design tenant, identity, support, logging, backup, and deletion controls around risk.
  • Give customers clear contractual and operational information.
