Explanation
Healthcare companies must comply with regulations like HIPAA, which mandate strict controls over Protected Health Information (PHI). A private cloud provides dedicated infrastructure exclusively for one organization, offering maximum control over security, access, and compliance. A public cloud shares infrastructure with other tenants, increasing exposure risk. A community cloud is shared among organizations with similar compliance needs but still lacks the control a single organization requires. A hybrid cloud blends environments but typically still exposes sensitive data to some shared infrastructure.
