Practical references
Tools and references
We keep these references for teams building healthcare software: which vendors sign a HIPAA BAA, how the major clouds compare, which cloud services a BAA covers, and roughly what the cloud bill will be. Each one is free, cites its sources and shows the date we last verified it, because vendor terms and prices change.
