Sending secure, HIPAA compliant calendar invites is simple with Paubox Email Suite. Whether it's Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Microsoft Exchange, Paubox Email Suite seamlessly integrates with their built-in calendars. As we saw with Hilopaa Family 2 Family, sending HIPAA compliant calendar invites via Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) is easy with Paubox. It's also painless with Google Workspace (formerly G Suite). Here's how to do it.

 

Step 1: Create an event

Invite guests and click Save. If your Email Service Provider (ESP) is cloud-based, make sure you have a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) in place with them. Note: Microsoft and Google provide BAAs that provide coverage for their respective calendars. Paubox also provides a BAA to all customers.

 

Step 2: Send invitation email to guests

The steps you would normally take to create a calendar event and invite guests are exactly the same. That's the beauty of Paubox: Seamless security, no extra steps. No friction.
