Is Azure App Service Covered HIPAA for the Transmitting data's from Azure App Server to Azure SQL Server

Question

I'm developing a HIPAA compliant Product 

I know that most of the Azure Services Covered under HIPAA Std( https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Azure-HIPAAHITECH-Act-1d27efb0 )

Also most of the data's (PHI) that stored in Azure Services (Under the BAA Scope)

Across the UI and App Server ( i can Protect the data by using SSL certificates -https)

Now I had a doubt that between the App Server and Azure SQL Server the PHI data's can be transmitted Securely ?

Is Azure Provide these Assurance ?



Thanks in Advance

Both Azure Web Apps and Azure SQL Database are HIPAA compliant. The complete list of in-scope services is listed at http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/trust-center/services/. This is the place to look for the most up to date information about Azure compliance.

Answer 3

Azure SQL Database (and SQL Server starting with 2016) has a feature called Always Encrypted that is designed to protect sensitive data. Data remains encrypted at all times - in transit, in memory, on disk and even during query processing.
