Empuls provides UAE clients with a fully dedicated tenant on AWS UAE data centers — isolated at both the data and application layers — with disaster recovery replication in a separate AWS region, TLS 1.2 encryption in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest, and operations independently certified under ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II.
Data Residency Architecture
Empuls provisions UAE client environments exclusively on AWS UAE data centers, satisfying local data residency requirements without requiring custom configuration or add-on agreements. The architecture defines a primary region for live production workloads and a secondary region for disaster recovery and continuous replication, ensuring that employee data never moves outside compliant geographies during normal operations or failover events.Dedicated Tenancy at the Data and Application Layer
Empuls gives UAE enterprise clients a fully dedicated tenant — not a shared multi-tenant pool. Both the data layer and the application layer are logically isolated, which means no shared database schemas, no shared compute resources, and no shared runtime environments with other organizations. This model eliminates cross-tenant data exposure, delivers predictable and consistent performance under load, and simplifies the audit scope for internal information security reviews and third-party assessments.Encryption and Data Protection
All data transmitted between Empuls and connected systems — including HRIS integrations with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Darwinbox — is secured with TLS 1.2. Data stored within Empuls is encrypted at rest using AES-256. Automatic replication runs continuously between the primary and secondary AWS regions, and daily backups provide additional recovery points with tightly bounded RPO and RTO targets.Compliance Certifications
Xoxoday Empuls maintains ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications, both audited by independent third-party assessors on a recurring basis. These certifications validate the security, availability, and confidentiality controls that govern how recognition and rewards data is ingested, stored, processed, and deleted. Organizations subject to UAE data protection obligations can request the relevant audit reports and attestations as part of their vendor due diligence process.How This Works in Practice
An HR team running Empuls alongside Microsoft Teams for real-time recognition notifications and SAP SuccessFactors for employee records keeps all underlying rewards and recognition data within the designated AWS UAE region. Slack messages triggered by peer recognition events are delivered without persisting personal employee data outside the defined data boundary. Because Empuls operates on a dedicated tenant, peak activity in other customer environments — such as quarter-end reward redemptions on the global platform — produces no performance impact for UAE-based users.
