Source publication · YYSI publication

Anthropic published documentation stating that Enterprise plan organizations can apply a HIPAA setting that brings local Claude Code and local Cowork sessions under a Business Associate Agreement. The setting is available only to organizations with an Anthropic account team, and only the primary owner can apply it. Cloud sessions, IDE extensions, connectors, MCP servers, and gateway or cloud-provider connections are excluded from BAA coverage.
