HIPAA compliance and BAA requirement
As you know, to be on teh safer side, we need HIPAA compliance docs and business associate agreement from any communication software to be used in medical devices in clinical settings. What is TeamViewer's stand on that? Do you even provide those? Are there any conditions etc?

Dear Sreeam,
Thank you for your request. As you wrote certified-security is particularly important for us and our customers.
Since May 2016, TeamViewer is fully HIPAA (BAA) and HITECH certified. One of its key objectives is to ensure confidentiality and security of protected health information (PHI). HIPAA compliance verifies that physical, network, and process security measures are in in place to protect PHI.
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) supplements HIPAA. Its primary concern is to stipulate the penalties for those organizations violating HIPAA rules.
TeamViewer received the HIPAA, HITECH, and SOC2 certification from A-LIGN, a US nationwide security and compliance provider specializing in helping businesses across a variety of industries navigate the complexities of their specific audit and security assessment needs.
Regarding the security, find more details on our homepage and the Security Statement:

Have a data-secure good day!
Best regards

So does that mean you will sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) as required for customers who wish to use TeamViewer in a way that maintains compliance with HIPAA?

Interesting, I tried a few times and was either told NO, or you need half mil in anual spend.
Here is real response from your sales team:
We are happy to provide the documentation we have on our HIPAA compliance but unfortunately will not sign a BAA due to liability concerns.
Is the BAA an absolute requirement on your end?

SOC2 audits are only good for one year. Is TeamViewer planning to have A-Lign provide another SOC2 audit for 2017-18?
