At Badger Maps, we take our customers’ data very seriously and we ensure that our customers' data is safe and secure at all times. For customers who are subject to the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Badger Maps is fully compliant. 

What exactly is HIPAA?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 is a US healthcare law that establishes requirements to protect patient health data. It applies to covered entities with access to patients’ protected health information (PHI), as well as to business associates, such as cloud services and IT providers, that process PHI on their behalf.

Therefore, any company that deals with protected health information (PHI) must make sure that they have the right physical, network and process security measures in place to guarantee compliance with this law.

Badger Maps is fully HIPAA compliant across the entire platform. This includes our core field sales application, Territory Management features, all CRM-integrated accounts, and our mobile apps for iOS and Android. Regardless of how your team accesses or interacts with data in Badger Maps, you can be confident that your PHI is handled in full compliance with HIPAA requirements.

This includes our core field sales application on the web app and our iOS and Android mobile apps, all CRM-integrated accounts, and Territory Management features.

We store all data on servers owned and operated by Amazon Web Services (AWS), which undergo rigorous annual certifications to meet the highest standards of physical and virtual security. For more information on AWS's HIPAA compliance, please visit aws.amazon.com/compliance/hipaa-compliance.

Business Associate Agreement

If you are subject to HIPAA and plan to use Badger Maps with Protected Health Information (PHI), you must have a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) in place before sharing any PHI with us. A BAA is a contract between a HIPAA-covered entity (you) and a business associate (Badger Maps) that ensures patient health data is handled in accordance with HIPAA guidelines.

Here's how the process works: you send us your BAA, we review it, and we sign it before you begin using Badger Maps in connection with any PHI. We do not issue our own BAA; the agreement comes from you, the covered entity.
