Empuls secures every integration — whether API-based or SFTP file transfer — through client-specific authentication standards and in-transit encryption, all underpinned by SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliance.
When organizations connect Xoxoday Empuls with their HR stack, security is enforced at the integration layer — not added as an afterthought. Empuls applies a distinct set of controls depending on the integration type, ensuring each connection meets the specific security requirements of the client’s environment.

​
API Integrations: Client-Specific Authentication

Empuls supports direct API integrations with HRIS platforms such as Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and Darwinbox. For each connection, Empuls adheres to the client’s specified authentication standards — whether OAuth 2.0, API key management, or token-based authorization flows. Rather than applying a single blanket approach, Empuls aligns to the security specifications the client already has in place, reducing the risk of credential exposure and unauthorized access. When an enterprise connects Xoxoday Empuls to SAP SuccessFactors to sync employee lifecycle data, the authentication handshake follows SAP’s own security requirements. Empuls does not override or bypass those protocols.

​
SFTP File Transfers: Encryption in Transit

For organizations that exchange employee data via SFTP — common in payroll and HR batch workflows — Empuls encrypts all file transfers during transmission. This ensures that data moving between the client’s internal systems and Empuls cannot be intercepted or tampered with in transit. SFTP-based integrations frequently serve legacy HR environments or workflows where direct API connectivity is not available. Empuls supports both models without compromising data security.

​
Collaboration Tool Integrations

Empuls integrates with communication platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams, allowing employees to send and receive recognition without leaving their daily workflow. These integrations follow the native authorization standards of each platform — Slack’s OAuth scopes and Microsoft Teams’ permission consent model — limiting data access strictly to what the recognition experience requires.

​
Compliance Across Every Integration

Every integration type is backed by Empuls’s adherence to global data protection standards. Xoxoday Empuls is certified under ISO 27001 for information security management, SOC 2 Type II for operational security controls, and complies with GDPR for organizations operating across the European Union. These certifications apply to how data is collected, processed, stored, and transmitted across every connected system. Clients in regulated industries — financial services, healthcare, enterprise software — can rely on Empuls to satisfy their data governance requirements without negotiating custom security agreements for standard integration types.

​
Why a Client-Specific Approach Matters

A rigid, one-size-fits-all security model creates friction for enterprise clients who already operate under internal security policies. Empuls adapts its integration security posture to match the client’s existing environment, making onboarding faster without creating compliance gaps. The result is a connected employee engagement experience — spanning Workday, Slack, Darwinbox, and Microsoft Teams — where security is consistent, verified, and tailored to each organization.
