HIPAA Compliance with Zoho Cliq
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (including the Privacy Rule, Security Rule, Breach Notification Rule, and Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act) ("HIPAA"), requires Covered Entities and Business Associates to take certain measures to protect health information that can identify an individual. It also provides certain rights to individuals.
Zoho does not collect, use, store, or maintain health information protected by HIPAA for its purposes. Zoho Cliq provides features described below to help its customers use Cliq in a HIPAA-compliant manner.
HIPAA requires Covered Entities to sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with its Business Associates. You can request our BAA template by sending an email to legal@zohocorp.com.
Restrict access control
- Disable external contact by disabling Guest Chat, Extensions, External Channels.
- Provide users with unique login credentials to ensure that ePHI is only accessible to authorized users via MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication).

- Mandating read receipt will help you attain read audit of messages.
View history of edited messages

When a user is added or removed to a channel, the participants in the channel can view notifications on who is added or removed and by whom the user is added or removed.
