Built-in protection

Security at every layer

ISO 27001:2022 certified

Our information security management system is independently audited to the ISO 27001:2022 standard. The certificate is available on request.

GDPR compliant

Recognize is built to meet GDPR obligations for handling employee data, with data subject request processes in place.

Live trust center

Our Vanta-powered trust center documents our security controls, policies, and subprocessors in real time.

Single sign-on

SAML and OAuth single sign-on let employees use existing credentials, with automated user provisioning.

How we protect your data

Encryption everywhere

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest across the platform.

Least data by design

Recognize is designed to process only the employee information needed to run recognition, not customer PII, payment data, or health records.

Trusted subprocessors

We rely on a small set of U.S.-based subprocessors, including AWS, Twilio, Mailchimp, and Zendesk, all documented in our trust center.

Independent testing

We maintain penetration testing, with an attestation available on request.

Documentation for your review

Our trust center provides self-serve access to our security posture. We can also share our ISO 27001 certificate and penetration test attestation on request. For security questions, email security@recognizeapp.com.
