Recommended Actions

  1. Obtain PCI DSS Attestation of Compliance (AOC): Contact BambooHR via trust.bamboohr.com or your account representative and request their current AOC or ROC. This document is required by your QSA under PCI-DSS 4.0 Requirement 12.8.4. Store it alongside your TPSP inventory. If BambooHR is unable to provide an AOC, escalate to a conditional approval pending receipt.
  2. Request SOC 2 Type II report: Ask BambooHR's security team for their most recent SOC 2 Type II report — many vendors provide this via a signed NDA request through their trust page. Review the scope section to confirm it covers the HR/payroll services you are consuming and check the bridge letter date to confirm currency.
  3. Execute a CCPA Service Provider Agreement and GDPR Data Processing Addendum: Ensure a written agreement is in place with BambooHR that prohibits the sale or sharing of employee personal data and designates BambooHR as a 'service provider' under CCPA/CPRA. BambooHR's trust page references EU-US DPF, UK Extension, and Swiss-US DPF participation — request their DPA template and ensure it covers your employee population's jurisdictions.

Frequently asked about BambooHR

Is BambooHR safe to use as a vendor?+
BambooHR can be evaluated for vendor safety by checking sanctions databases (OFAC, EU, UN), verifying business registration through legal entity registries like GLEIF, scanning for adverse media coverage including data breaches and regulatory actions, and assessing domain security and cyber risk posture. ThirdProof automates this entire investigation across 24 intelligence sources and produces a deterministic risk tier (1-5 scale) with a confidence score. Run a free investigation to see BambooHR's full risk profile.
Does BambooHR have SOC 2 certification?+
To verify whether BambooHR holds SOC 2 certification, ThirdProof scans the vendor's trust page and security documentation for certification claims, then cross-references those claims against independent registries where available (such as the FedRAMP Marketplace for FedRAMP authorization). Certifications are classified as independently verified, vendor attested, or not found in evidence — ensuring you know the verification level of each claim.
Is BambooHR FedRAMP authorized?+
Based on ThirdProof's investigation, BambooHR is not currently listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace. Organizations with federal compliance requirements should verify this directly and consider alternative vendors with FedRAMP authorization where required.
Has BambooHR had any data breaches?+
ThirdProof's adverse media analysis searches multiple news APIs and public records for data breaches, security incidents, lawsuits, regulatory enforcement actions, and financial distress signals involving BambooHR. Each finding is linked to its original source with severity classification. The investigation also checks SEC EDGAR for enforcement-related filings and FDIC records for financial institution failures, providing a comprehensive public record review.
Is BambooHR on any sanctions lists?+
ThirdProof screens BambooHR against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives from similar names. If BambooHR or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers an automatic escalation to the highest risk tier. No sanctions match is confirmed through a clean screening report in the investigation output.
