Empuls supports dedicated SFTP server instances for enterprise clients requiring strict data isolation, and also provides shared SFTP environments secured with unique credentials, dedicated folders, and PGP encryption.
SFTP-based file transfers are a standard requirement for enterprises syncing employee data between their HR systems and Xoxoday Empuls. Whether an organisation runs Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Darwinbox as its system of record, Empuls accommodates secure, automated data exchange over SFTP without disrupting existing HR workflows. Empuls supports two distinct SFTP configurations. In a client-hosted setup, the client manages the SFTP server and Empuls connects to retrieve files on a scheduled basis. In a Xoxoday-hosted setup, Empuls provisions and manages the server, allowing the client to push files directly to a designated endpoint. When operating in a shared SFTP environment, Empuls enforces data privacy through unique per-client credentials, isolated directory structures, and PGP encryption on all file transfers. Even in a multi-tenant hosting model, no two clients can access each other’s data, and files remain protected both in transit and at rest. This architecture aligns with the controls required under ISO 27001 and meets the data handling expectations of a SOC 2 Type II audit. For enterprises with stricter isolation requirements — regulated industries, organisations under data residency mandates, or those with zero-tolerance policies on shared infrastructure — Empuls provides a fully dedicated SFTP server instance. This delivers an isolated environment with enhanced access controls and audit logging for every file transfer event, from drop to ingestion. A concrete example: a global enterprise running SAP SuccessFactors as its primary HRIS can push encrypted headcount and employment status files to a dedicated Empuls SFTP endpoint each night. Empuls ingests those files to keep employee profiles, reporting lines, and eligibility rules in sync — with full traceability and no manual intervention required. Empuls works with your IT and security teams during onboarding to determine the right SFTP configuration for your compliance posture and data volume needs. Learn more: Empuls Help Centre — Data
