When configuring security, sharing, and visibility in Salesforce Health Cloud, consultants must consider healthcare-specific requirements such as HIPAA, GDPR, and organizational policies. Two critical considerations are:

B. Understand customer needs, data security, privacy concerns, regulatory compliance, and sharing or visibility restrictions.

Healthcare data involves PHI (Protected Health Information), which requires strict compliance with HIPAA and regional regulations.

Consultants must tailor security models to meet specific privacy and compliance requirements.

C. Regularly review and update security, sharing, and visibility settings in Health Cloud to align with evolving needs, regulations, and organizational policies.

Regulations change, and so do organizational needs. Security and sharing rules must be reviewed and updated periodically to ensure ongoing compliance and relevance.

Why not the others?

A. Ensure that data mask is used in production to appropriately manage PHI.

Salesforce Data Mask is a tool for sandbox data anonymization, not for production. PHI in production should be secured using encryption, field-level security, and sharing rules—not Data Mask.

D. Review Salesforce documentation and implement a standardized security and visibility model.

While documentation is helpful, healthcare organizations require tailored security models that fit unique compliance and data access needs, not a one-size-fits-all model.
