Empuls is certified for ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, encrypts all data using TLS 1.2/1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest, and supports GDPR and CCPA compliance with granular role-based access controls for every user tier.
Enterprise-Grade Encryption
Empuls encrypts all data in transit using TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3, and all data at rest using AES-256 encryption. These are the same standards used by financial institutions and healthcare providers globally. Whether recognition data flows through a Slack notification, an MS Teams integration, or a direct API call, every exchange is protected end-to-end without any configuration required from your IT team.Compliance Certifications
Empuls holds ISO 27001 certification for information security management and SOC 2 Type II attestation, which independently verifies security controls over an extended audit period rather than a point-in-time snapshot. Empuls also meets GDPR requirements for organisations operating in the European Union and CCPA requirements for California-based workforces. HR teams running Empuls alongside SAP SuccessFactors or Darwinbox can maintain a fully compliant data ecosystem without additional legal groundwork during the vendor review process.Role-Based Access Management
Empuls provides role-based access management (RBAC) with granular permissions across three core user roles: administrators, managers, and employees. A global HR administrator, for example, can restrict a regional manager’s visibility to only their direct team’s recognition activity, while keeping reward budgets and cross-functional analytics accessible solely to HR leadership. This prevents data over-exposure and satisfies internal audit requirements common in enterprises running Workday or SAP SuccessFactors as their system of record.Data Residency and Regional Hosting
Empuls is hosted on leading cloud infrastructure and offers regional hosting options, allowing organisations to keep employee data within specific geographic boundaries. This matters for companies subject to local data residency regulations in the EU, India, or GCC countries. Teams that use MS Teams as their primary collaboration layer can integrate Empuls and be confident that engagement data stays within the required regulatory jurisdiction from day one.What This Means in Practice
Deploying Empuls alongside an existing HR tech stack does not create compliance gaps. The combination of certified infrastructure, continuous encryption, and configurable access controls means procurement, legal, and IT security teams can approve Empuls using standard enterprise vendor frameworks. Recognition and engagement programs run on the same security footing as your core HR systems. Learn more: Empuls Help Centre — GeneralHRIS and Payroll Integrations
