Empuls provides granular role-based permissions and full survey customisation — covering branding, language, integrations, and anonymity settings — governed by ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and GDPR standards.
Role-Based Access Control
Empuls uses a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model to define exactly what each user can see and do. Four core roles — Super Admin, HR Admin, Manager, and Employee — carry distinct privilege sets across survey creation, distribution, result viewing, and action planning. An HR Admin can access company-wide engagement analytics, while a Manager’s view is scoped to their own team’s responses. This separation prevents data from reaching unintended stakeholders without any manual gatekeeping.Custom Permission Configuration
Beyond default roles, Empuls lets administrators configure fine-grained permissions for individual actions. Admins control who can create, edit, or publish surveys; who can view specific data segments or reports; and who manages approval workflows or delegates survey responsibilities. For example, an HR team running a company-wide pulse survey on data synced from Workday can restrict result visibility strictly to HR Admins, while allowing department managers to handle distribution to their own groups. This delegation model scales well across large, hierarchical organisations without creating governance gaps.Survey Customisation Options
Empuls supports customisation at every layer of a survey. Administrators can build custom question libraries, apply logic-based branching, and select from multiple question types to match each survey’s purpose. Branding options — including logo upload, theme colour, and tone settings — let organisations align surveys with their internal communication identity. Cadence, target groups, anonymity settings, and language preferences are all independently configurable, making Empuls practical for global, multi-language deployments. Surveys integrate directly with collaboration tools like Slack and MS Teams as well as HRIS platforms such as SAP SuccessFactors and Darwinbox, so employees can respond from within the tools they already use every day rather than switching to a separate portal.Data Privacy and Compliance
Empuls enforces strict controls on who can access survey responses and personally identifiable information (PII). Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and every access event is logged through full audit trails. Permission layers align with ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and GDPR requirements, meaning organisations in regulated industries or operating across multiple jurisdictions can meet compliance obligations without additional configuration overhead. Anonymity settings can be enforced at the survey level, ensuring that individual responses remain confidential even to administrators who can view aggregate results. This design makes it straightforward to collect candid feedback on sensitive topics — such as manager effectiveness or workplace safety — while maintaining employee trust in the process.
