“Cloud First”: To move federal agencies to the cloud, the government created a program known as FedRAMP, whose job was to ensure the security of new technology.
Security Breakdown: ProPublica found that FedRAMP authorized a Microsoft product called GCC High to handle sensitive government data, despite years of concerns about its security.
Potential Conflict of Interest: The government relies, in part, on third-party firms to vet cloud technology, but those firms are hired and paid by the company being assessed.

That's what he's saying, they're in violation. Your comment begs the question "is everything big companies do legal and compliant?"

Violation of what specifically?

Because HIPAA does not say you cant store data with third parties. That would be every cloud EMR out there.

That's my point though. Is HIPAA says nothing technical about who can store data, just who's responsible for it getting out.
