Empuls has undergone independent third-party audits covering privacy compliance and information security within the past two years. These assessments validate that Empuls meets the controls required by internationally recognized frameworks, giving HR and People teams confidence when deploying an employee recognition program at scale.

​
Certifications Empuls Holds

Empuls is certified against ISO 27001, the global benchmark for information security management systems. This certification requires an accredited external auditor to verify that Empuls maintains documented security controls, risk management processes, and continuous improvement cycles — not just a one-time snapshot. Empuls has also achieved SOC 2 Type II attestation, which evaluates the operational effectiveness of security, availability, and confidentiality controls over an extended observation period of six to twelve months. A SOC 2 Type II report carries significantly more weight than a Type I because it proves controls work in practice, not just in design.

​
Privacy-Specific Standards

Beyond information security, Empuls has been assessed against ISO 27701, the privacy extension to ISO 27001 that establishes a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS). ISO 27701 maps directly to GDPR, CCPA, and other regional data protection regulations, so organizations using Empuls can reference this certification during their own compliance reviews without starting from scratch.

​
Why This Matters for HR Technology Integrations

Employee recognition platforms process sensitive personal data — names, employment records, reward histories, and integration feeds from HRIS systems like Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and Darwinbox. When Empuls connects with these systems via API or SSO, the data exchanged must be handled under a documented compliance posture. The ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications provide the audit trail that enterprise security and legal teams require before approving a new HR tool. For organizations running Empuls alongside Slack or Microsoft Teams for recognition workflows, this is especially relevant. Notification flows, user data lookups, and reward redemption events all pass through Empuls infrastructure — infrastructure that has been independently verified to meet enterprise privacy and security standards.

Using This Documentation in Your Security Review

If your organization requires evidence of compliance as part of an RFP, vendor due diligence questionnaire, or information security review, Empuls provides current certification documentation, audit summary reports, and completed security questionnaire responses. This is typically required by enterprise customers in regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, and the public sector. Empuls undergoes these assessments on a recurring basis, ensuring certifications remain current and that the security posture reflects the latest product features and infrastructure changes. The combination of ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and SOC 2 Type II gives procurement teams a comprehensive, independently verified picture of how Empuls handles data.
