Zoom (Paid) Sensitive Zoom does not require multi-factor authentication and is not offered as a centrally supported service. Users have the ability to change system settings and therefore must ensure the environment configured is secure and compliant. When necessary, access should be granted to specific users rather than sharing account information. Storing recorded meetings in the cloud could expose protected data and should be avoided.
