At Emi, we don't consider security only as a feature of our recruitment platform, we consider it the foundation. Security doesn't come second to the end of our software development process, it's part of our fundamental design philosophy.

Unfortunately, personal information has been an attractive target for hackers and cybercriminals because of the fraudulent actions they can carry out with it. And while organizations are aware of the importance of protecting employee information, such as salaries and benefits, protecting candidates' personal information in a recruitment process is just as important.

That's why we are excited to announce that Emi has received its SOC 2 Type 2 report.

The importance of data security in recruitment

Protecting candidate information is critical to any mass recruitment strategy. When you're processing thousands of applications, which contain sensitive personal information, data security should be the number one priority. The leak of information It can be costly for companies, not only economically but also in terms of time and reputation.

Security is more than protocols such as two-factor authentication and access control. And in turn, it goes beyond how data is handled internally. Ensuring that information is in good hands with whatever HR technology you're considering adopting is crucial; and any third-party technology that the company uses to collect and store personal data must be verified.

So, how can you evaluate the security of third-party technologies used in the recruitment process? Through SOC 2 Type 2 compliance.

What is SOC 2 Type 2?

SOC, which stands for service and organization controls, is a series of standards created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) to evaluate an organization's effectiveness in protecting the information it collects and stores. The SOC 2 Type 2 report is an audit that examines the internal controls and processes that a cloud-based technology provider has implemented to protect customer data and how effective those controls are over time.

Safety is a priority at Emi and we know that it is also a priority for your business. Obtaining our SOC 2 Type 2 report is essential to demonstrate that we consider information security as a serious issue and that your data is safe with Emi. Earning your trust is important to us and we want you to feel secure in how we handle your candidates' personal information.
