Empuls operates on ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure, encrypts all data with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit, and complies with GDPR, CCPA, and Canada’s PIPEDA.
Empuls meets globally recognized standards for information security, data privacy, and cloud infrastructure. Hosting on ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure reflects a rigorous, independently audited approach to protecting organizational and employee data. These certifications are not one-time assessments — they require continuous controls, regular reviews, and documented incident response procedures. All data stored within Empuls is encrypted using AES-256, the same standard used by financial institutions and government agencies. Data in transit is secured with TLS 1.2 or higher, ensuring that communication between Empuls and connected systems — such as Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Darwinbox — remains protected end-to-end. This encryption model applies across all environments, including integrations with collaboration tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams. Empuls complies with GDPR for European data subjects, CCPA for California residents, and Canada’s PIPEDA for organizations operating in Canadian jurisdictions. This multi-jurisdictional privacy posture means that multinational HR teams can deploy Empuls across regions without managing separate data handling frameworks for each local regulation. Privacy controls are built into the platform architecture, not added after the fact. The security environment follows NIST cybersecurity framework controls, which define best practices for identifying, protecting, detecting, responding to, and recovering from security incidents. Access to Empuls is governed by multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based permissions, so HR administrators, managers, and employees each operate within clearly scoped access levels. For enterprise deployments integrated with identity providers such as Okta or Azure AD, SSO further centralizes access governance. Empuls undergoes regular third-party Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) to proactively identify and remediate security weaknesses. These tests simulate real-world attack scenarios against Empuls’s infrastructure, APIs, and third-party integrations. Results feed into a formal remediation cycle tracked by the security team. Empuls does not process cardholder data directly, placing it outside PCI-DSS scope. However, the underlying cloud environment is architected to support PCI-compliant integrations where required — for example, when reward redemptions connect to payment processors or gift card providers that operate under PCI standards.
