HIPAA-Compliant Enterprise Search

HIPAA-compliant enterprise AI search deployed in your Azure tenant

Healthcare organizations need AI search that meets strict HIPAA requirements. QueryNow Search runs entirely in your Azure environment. Your data never leaves your tenant. No BAA with a search vendor required.

Why most enterprise search fails HIPAA compliance

SaaS search products like Glean send your data to their infrastructure. That means a BAA with the search vendor, data leaving your network, and a compliance surface area you can't fully control. QueryNow eliminates this entirely.

Your Azure tenant, your control

Every component runs in your Azure subscription. You control network rules, encryption keys, access policies, and data lifecycle.

Zero data exfiltration

No data is sent to QueryNow or any external service. Azure OpenAI runs in your tenant. Search indexes stay in your Azure AI Search instance.

Security trimming enforced

Search results respect existing M365 and application-level permissions. Users only see documents they are authorized to access.

Full audit trail

Every search query, every result served, every action taken is logged in Azure SQL with timestamps, user IDs, and source attribution.

No vendor access to PHI

QueryNow deploys the system and hands you the keys. Optional support uses screen-sharing only. We never have direct access to your data.

Inherits Azure compliance

Azure is HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2 Type II, FedRAMP, and ISO 27001 certified. QueryNow Search inherits these certifications by running entirely within Azure.

SaaS search vs. tenant-deployed search for healthcare

Where does patient data go when indexed?

SaaS:To the vendor's cloud infrastructure
QueryNow:Stays in your Azure tenant. Never leaves your network.

Who needs a BAA?

SaaS:You + the search vendor + their cloud provider
QueryNow:You + Microsoft (already in place for Azure)

Who controls encryption keys?

SaaS:The vendor manages keys
QueryNow:You manage keys in your Azure Key Vault

What happens in a breach?

SaaS:You depend on vendor's incident response
QueryNow:Your security team controls the entire response
