⚠ Red flag: "We're working toward it" or audit more than 2 years oldHIPAA requires ePHI protection. Demand specifics: AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit. Call recordings containing patient info are often overlooked by vendors.
⚠ Red flag: "We use industry-standard encryption" (no specifics)The May 11, 2026 Section 504 deadline requires healthcare organizations to ensure communication tools are accessible. Ask for a VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template).
⚠ Red flag: "What's a VPAT?" or no documented accessibility testingHIPAA requires covered entities to notify HHS within 60 days of a breach. Your vendor must contractually commit to notifying you within a window that lets you meet that deadline.
⚠ Red flag: No contractual notification timeline or liability languageMany UCaaS vendors use subprocessors (AI transcription, storage, SMS gateways) that also handle ePHI. Your vendor's BAA must flow down to every subprocessor in the chain.
