You don’t need to be told why platform security matters. Or why every integration is a new risk surface. Or what happens when a platform promises compliance but can’t back it up during an audit.

You’ve seen what goes wrong. Which is why your threshold for trust is high - especially when a platform is positioned as the new front door for the workforce. It touches core systems. It becomes daily infrastructure. And if it breaks, slows down, or fails on privacy, it’s on you.

So let’s skip the sales pitch. Here’s what a secure, scalable, integration-ready frontline employee communications platform actually looks like - and why Speakap clears the bar.

6 ways Speakap meets your security & compliance standards

1. Data residency where you need it

Do you know where your data is stored? With Speakap, you choose. You can host your data within EU borders or in the U.S., depending on business and compliance requirements.

For European enterprises, this means GDPR alignment and sovereignty without compromise. For global organizations, it means flexibility at scale.

2. Fully encrypted, fully auditable

Speakap encrypts 100% of your data - in transit and at rest - using enterprise-grade protocols (TLS 1.3+, AES-256).

We don’t just secure traffic - we secure workflows:

• Strict role-based access controls (RBAC)
• Continuous logging and auditable session management

Your IT team doesn’t have to build controls around us. We operate as the security perimeter.

3. Certified by the industry - audited by experts

What separates a trustworthy vendor from a risky one? Independent audits.

Here’s where we stand:

• ISO 27001 certified Information Security Management System, audited twice a year
• SOC 2 Type II tested controls across security, availability, confidentiality, and privacy
• GDPR- and CCPA-compliant workflows for access requests, consent, minimization, and erasure
• HIPAA-ready for healthcare deployments (BAAs, PHI protection, audit trails)

You don’t have to just trust us - our certifications are the proof.

4. Zero tolerance for data sprawl

Employee data shouldn't live in 15 different systems. With Speakap, it doesn’t. We’re built to integrate securely into your core HR and IT stack, via a well-documented, API-first architecture.

• Direct integrations with HRIS, payroll, and scheduling systems.
• Authentication via SSO and directory sync with SCIM.
• Data mapping and sync governed by strict field-level validation and versioning.

We treat your data structure like part of your infrastructure - because it is. And we have controls in place to protect it from drift, duplication, or inconsistency.

5. Identity and integrations done right

One of the biggest IT headaches? User management. Speakap eliminates the manual effort:

• SSO support (SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect)
• Directory sync via SCIM for automatic provisioning and deprovisioning
• Rule-based settings for profile fields, permissions, groups, and organizational units
• Open API to build custom integrations and automations as needed

That means no ex-employees with lingering access, no double-handling of accounts, and no risk of “shadow IT” integrations outside your control.

6. Governance, transparency, and accountability

Security is more than encryption and audits - it’s also how you operate as a vendor. At Speakap, we maintain:

• Annual pentests by an independent third party
• A continuous bug bounty programme focused on finding and solving security issues. 
• A responsible disclosure process for anyone who finds a potential security issue. Proactive incident response protocols, tied to notification SLAs

We don’t disappear after go-live. Our governance model ensures shared visibility, shared responsibility, and shared outcomes.

You’ve seen the risks. Speakap doesn’t add to them

No platform is risk-free. But this one is built to align with the way your team already manages systems: securely, transparently, and with control. It doesn’t create more exceptions. It doesn’t demand a rewrite of your identity or compliance model. And it doesn’t disappear into the background when it matters most. It integrates, encrypts, scales, and supports - without shifting the burden onto your infrastructure team.

Want proof, not promises?

Whatever you need to validate what’s already in place. Because you're not here to be convinced. You're here to make sure it checks out. And it does. 😉
