AI-102 Implement computer vision solutions Practice Question
A healthcare organization uses Azure AI Health Insights to extract medical insights from unstructured clinical notes. The solution must comply with HIPAA. Which configuration is required?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse authentication mechanisms (like managed identities or Azure AD) with network security controls, mistakenly believing that identity-based access alone satisfies HIPAA's data protection requirements.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure the Azure AI services resource to use a private endpoint and disable public network access
HIPAA compliance for Azure AI Health Insights requires network isolation to prevent unauthorized access to protected health information (PHI). A private endpoint assigns the Azure AI services resource a private IP address within the customer's virtual network, and disabling public network access ensures all traffic stays within the Microsoft backbone, eliminating exposure to the public internet. This configuration meets the HIPAA Security Rule's requirement for technical safeguards, specifically access control and transmission security.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Store the clinical notes in Azure Storage with Azure AD authentication only
Why it's wrong here
Does not address network isolation for the cognitive service.
- ✗
Enable public network access but use a firewall rule to restrict IP addresses
Why it's wrong here
Public network access is not HIPAA compliant for protected health information.
- ✓
Configure the Azure AI services resource to use a private endpoint and disable public network access
Why this is correct
Ensures data is not exposed over the public internet.
- ✗
Use a system-assigned managed identity for authentication
Why it's wrong here
Identity alone does not ensure network security.
