Empower your Care teams and stay Secure and compliant<\/h2>\n

\u201cAt least you have your health.\u201d It\u2019s a common platitude, but it underlies a more important truth when it comes to data: regardless of what else you hold dear as an individual, nothing is as precious as your health. This value on health \u2013 more than money or your day to day activity \u2013 carries through when talking about data.<\/p>\n

Microsoft understands that for you\u2014our healthcare customer\u2014to realise the benefits of the cloud, you must be willing to entrust your cloud provider with one of your most valuable assets\u2014your data. If you invest in a cloud service, you must be able to trust that your customer data is safe, that the privacy of your data is protected, and that you retain ownership of and control over your data\u2014that it will only be used in a way that is consistent with your expectations.<\/p>\n

Microsoft strives to earn your trust in Microsoft Azure. Our long experience running online services has involved extensive investment in foundational technology that builds security and privacy into the development process. Over time, we\u2019ve developed industry-leading security measures and privacy policies, and participated in international compliance programs with independent verification of how we measure up.<\/p>\n

Earning the trust with O365 in the NHS<\/h2>\n

An example of Microsoft striving to earn and keep your trust is our relationship with the NHS and its implementation of Microsoft Office 365, which is accredited under ISB1596 to store patient data. For healthcare organisations, trust is essential as you move clinical applications and datasets containing protected health information (PHI), including patient demographics and treatment information, to the public cloud. And Now that the UK data centres have opened, Microsoft can also provide data residency in the UK.<\/p>\n

It is critical as you share data across the health ecosystem, and expand how and where health professionals and patients access confidential information, to work with a service provider that you can trust. You must trust that confidential information is protected, that it\u2019s held and managed securely and in compliance with regulations and laws, and that its privacy is protected.
