At launch it is unavailable to organizations with HIPAA-ready configurations, is not covered by zero data retention in organizations that have ZDR for Claude Code, does not use connected-app context, and is not yet available in Claude for Teachers. Boards can be shared with outside invitees only when admins allow it and can be sent to Lucid, Miro or Zoho Vani.","sledRelevance":"Interpretation: health and human services agencies on HIPAA-ready Claude configurations cannot use Whiteboards, and agencies that rely on ZDR should note the feature sits outside that setting. K-12 districts using the free Claude for Teachers offering do not get Whiteboards yet. Team-plan organizations (common for small municipalities or departments) get it on by default, which shifts the burden to admins to opt out.","evidence":"Vendor documentation of feature scope and data-control exclusions; no usage or outcome evidence.","architectureImplications":"Interpretation: Whiteboards creates artifacts saved in the Artifacts tab and exportable to third-party whiteboard tools (Lucid, Miro, Zoho Vani), which adds external data paths that agencies must approve.","governanceImplications":"Interpretation: data-control exclusions (HIPAA-ready, ZDR) mean governance must be feature-by-feature, not plan-level; an organization's ZDR assurance does not automatically extend to new artifacts.","securityPrivacyImplications":"Not covered by Claude Code ZDR; unavailable in HIPAA-ready orgs; outside invitations gated by org settings; \"Send to\" exports leave Claude.","caveats":"Undated vendor help article; describes launch-state limits that may change; does not separately document Claude Meetings retention.

The Help Center says Whiteboards is unavailable to HIPAA-ready organizations, is not covered by ZDR in organizations using it for Claude Code, is on by default for Team plans, and is not in Claude for Teachers. Ask HHS and education buyers which assurances they rely on and whether every feature inherits them. Offer a feature-versus-controls matrix. Do not claim ZDR or HIPAA readiness covers new Claude features.","engineering":"Engineering should check defaults and exclusions per plan. Team tenants have Whiteboards on by default; Enterprise has it off until enabled under Organization settings > Artifacts. HIPAA-ready tenants cannot use it, and ZDR does not apply to it. Verify outside-invitation settings, review the \"Send to\" export targets, and confirm whether Claude Meetings boards follow the same rules. Build a matrix of features against retention and compliance settings and recheck it at each release.","delivery":"Delivery work is a feature-controls register: for each new Claude feature, record availability by plan, default state, retention coverage and compliance exclusions, then set tenant configuration accordingly. Dependencies are the privacy office's ZDR expectations and HIPAA business associate scope. Risks include staff using a default-on feature that falls outside ZDR and exports to unapproved whiteboard tools.
