## Description

 * Maintain documentation for system configurations, access permissions, and standard operating procedures.

Network, Security & Compliance

 * Implement and maintain technical safeguards required under HIPAA, including access controls, multi-factor authentication, encryption, endpoint protection, and audit logging across systems handling protected health information.
 * Monitor backup jobs and periodically test restore procedures; escalate failures promptly.
 * Apply security patches and updates on a regular cadence; support network segmentation between compounding equipment, dispensing systems, and general office/guest access.

Identity & Collaboration Systems

 * Administer Microsoft 365 and Active Directory / Entra ID: account provisioning and deprovisioning, group policy, mailbox and license management.
 * Support collaboration tools (Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive) and troubleshoot access or sync issues for end users.
