Dynamics 365 Contact Center strengthens patient trust with HIPAA compliance 

We’re excited to share that as of March 5, 2025, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Contact Center has officially become Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant. This significant achievement highlights our dedication to security, privacy, and regulatory standards, particularly benefiting customers in healthcare. 

Why HIPAA compliance matters 

Healthcare providers deal daily with sensitive patient information, making data security essential — not just for compliance, but to maintain patient trust. With Dynamics 365 Contact Center now meeting HIPAA standards, healthcare organizations can confidently use AI agent-driven interactions and human support, knowing patient data remains secure. 

With HIPAA compliance, healthcare providers can: 

• Safely utilize AI-driven voice agents (IVR) and digital messaging bots for tasks like patient scheduling and information management. 

• Provide human agents with compliant, secure tools to improve patient interactions. 

• Build greater patient confidence through robust data security measures. 

Recent compliance achievements 

In addition to HIPAA, Dynamics 365 Contact Center has achieved several other critical compliance milestones in recent months: 

• Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) Compliance (January 2025): Ensuring secure handling of financial transactions within contact centers. 

• International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Compliance (December 2024): Meeting rigorous international standards for security and operational excellence. 

• System and Organization Controls (SOC2) Compliance (November 2024): Demonstrating strong operational controls and reliable management practices. 

These certifications reflect our ongoing commitment to maintaining high security and privacy standards.
