Empuls maintains full compliance with GDPR, the UK Data Protection Act, and applicable regional data protection frameworks, ensuring all customer data is processed, stored, and protected to the highest regulatory standards.
Xoxoday Empuls is built on a foundation of rigorous data governance. Every aspect of data handling — from collection and processing to storage and deletion — is governed by documented policies that align with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK Data Protection Act, and the regional regulatory frameworks applicable to the geographies where customers operate.

​
What compliance means in practice

GDPR compliance in Empuls means employees have clearly defined rights over their personal data: the right to access, the right to rectification, and the right to erasure. Empuls processes only the data necessary to deliver the service, and retention schedules are enforced automatically so organisations never hold personal information beyond its legitimate purpose. For customers operating under the UK Data Protection Act post-Brexit, Empuls applies standards equivalent to those required under GDPR, with no gap in protection. Regional frameworks — whether for operations in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, or the European Union — are mapped and addressed as part of the Empuls compliance programme.

​
Certifications that back the commitment

Empuls holds ISO 27001 certification, the international standard for information security management, and is audited against SOC 2 Type II criteria, which independently verifies the controls Empuls has in place around security, availability, and confidentiality. These are not one-time milestones — they are maintained through continuous audit cycles and structured improvement programmes.

​
How it works with your existing HR stack

When Empuls integrates with systems like Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Darwinbox, employee data flows through secure, encrypted channels. No employee records are duplicated unnecessarily, and integration scopes are limited strictly to what recognition and rewards workflows require. When Empuls connects to communication tools such as Slack or Microsoft Teams, only the permissions needed to deliver notifications and recognition nudges are requested — nothing broader.

​
Continuous improvement, not a checkbox exercise

Compliance at Empuls is treated as an ongoing discipline. Internal security reviews, third-party penetration testing, and regular policy audits form a structured improvement cycle. When regulations evolve — as they do with frameworks like GDPR — Empuls updates its data processing practices, documentation, and Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) accordingly. For HR and People teams, this means deploying Empuls across a global workforce without managing a patchwork of separate compliance arrangements. The same standards apply whether an organisation has employees in London, Singapore, or Riyadh. Learn more: Empuls Help Centre — General
