Secure, compliant
modern workplace.

Microsoft 365 and Azure configured specifically for healthcare — with the right security controls, HIPAA-compliant data handling, and identity management that clinical practices actually need.

The challenge

What healthcare practices face every day.

Most Microsoft 365 deployments are done for convenience, not compliance. In a healthcare environment, the default configuration is not sufficient — and getting it wrong creates HIPAA exposure.

policy

Default M365 Configuration Is Not HIPAA-Compliant

Out-of-the-box Microsoft 365 is not configured for HIPAA. PHI can flow through email, Teams, and SharePoint without the controls, audit logging, or encryption required under the Security Rule.

key_off

Identity & Access Management Gaps

Without proper identity management — MFA, conditional access, and joiner/leaver automation — access to PHI accumulates over time and cannot be reliably audited.

PHI in Uncontrolled Locations

Clinical staff store and share PHI through personal email, consumer cloud storage, and unsecured messaging apps when organizational tools don't meet their workflow needs. The solution is proper configuration, not prohibition.

devices

Bring-Your-Own-Device Risk

Personal devices accessing Microsoft 365 with no management controls create PHI exposure that cannot be audited or remediated if the device is lost, stolen, or the employee departs.

group_work

Ungoverned Collaboration Tools

Microsoft Teams channels, SharePoint sites, and external sharing created without governance policies create PHI exposure and make HIPAA audit trails impossible to produce.

Email Security Gaps

Clinical staff are high-value phishing targets. Default email security settings do not provide adequate protection against the sophisticated healthcare-targeted phishing campaigns Lexcom sees in the wild.

Case study

How a [XX]-provider practice replaced insecure communication tools with a HIPAA-compliant M365 environment.

Medical practice · [XX] providers

Secure collaboration without sacrificing clinical workflow.

A [XX]-provider practice was using a mix of personal email, WhatsApp, and unmanaged cloud storage to share clinical information — creating significant HIPAA exposure. Lexcom deployed a HIPAA-configured Microsoft 365 environment, executed the Microsoft BAA, and delivered staff training that made the compliant tools easier to use than the workarounds they replaced.
