AI Vendor BAA Check

Does Microsoft Teams Premium intelligent recap sign a BAA?

Not confirmed

Microsoft's HIPAA BAA comes by default through its Data Protection Addendum and covers Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Copilot. No Microsoft page we found names Teams Premium or intelligent recap as in scope, so BAA coverage of the recap feature itself is unconfirmed.

Based on 4 sources, all from Microsoft unless marked.

PlanBAAHow to get itConditions
Microsoft Teams (Microsoft 365 / Office 365 Commercial and GCC)Signs a BAAIncluded in the termsCovered entities and business associates get the BAA by default through the Microsoft Online Services DPA. The Office 365 in-scope tables for Commercial and GCC list Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Copilot and Microsoft Copilot Chat. This row covers the base Teams service, not the Premium add-on.[1]
Teams Premium add-on (intelligent recap)Not confirmedNot statedMicrosoft's HIPAA page does not mention Teams Premium or intelligent recap. The recap privacy page says recap inherits the organization's Teams security, compliance and privacy policies and runs on Microsoft's Azure OpenAI service within Microsoft 365 compliance boundaries, but it never mentions HIPAA, a BAA or the DPA. The licensing pages say recap needs either a Teams Premium license or a Microsoft Copilot license.[1],[2],[3],[4]

Are the AI features covered?

Vendors often sign a BAA for the core product but leave some AI features out. Here is what Microsoft says about each one.
