Where we stand.
We are building Thrive at Work to meet the standards enterprise security teams expect. Our privacy obligations are met today, two leading security attestations are actively in progress with independent auditors, and we run to those control sets now — ahead of the formal report dates.
Independent audit of our security, availability and confidentiality controls across a continuous monitoring window. Engagement underway with our auditor.
Certification of our information security management system (ISMS) — governance, risk treatment and controls. Implementation complete; audit scheduled.
Full compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation across collection, processing, residency and data-subject rights. EU entity as controller.
Aligned with the UK General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act for our UK customers, including UK data residency.
California Consumer Privacy Act and CPRA obligations honoured for US customers, with US data residency and consumer rights support.
Privacy Information Management extension to ISO 27001 — on our roadmap once the 27001 certification is in place.

GDPR, end to end.
Thrive at Work s.r.o. is an EU company, registered in Prague, and the platform is built around GDPR from the data model up. When we provide the Thrive Index to an organisation, that organisation is the data controller for its employees' responses and Thrive at Work acts as the data processor under a Data Processing Agreement.
- Standard Data Processing Agreement (DPA) available to every client
- Lawful basis documented for every category of data we process
- Full data-subject rights — access, rectification, erasure, portability, objection
- Data hosted in your own region by default — EU, US or UK
- Records of processing activity maintained under Article 30
- 72-hour breach notification to authorities and affected users
Our full Privacy Policy sets out what we collect, why, and how long we keep it, in plain language.
How we protect data.
Security is layered across our infrastructure, application and people. The controls below are the same ones our SOC 2 and ISO 27001 programmes are built on.
Data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256), including backups.
Role-based access control, enforced MFA, and access reviewed on a regular cadence.
Logging, alerting and audit trails across systems, with anomaly detection.
Third-party penetration testing and vulnerability scanning before each release.
Every sub-processor is assessed and contractually bound to equivalent standards.
Code review, dependency scanning and segregated environments across the pipeline.
Anonymity is architectural.
The single most important protection is structural: our pipeline is designed so that no individual's survey response is ever exposed to their employer — or to anyone at Thrive at Work — as an identifiable record.
- Results are released only in aggregate, with a minimum cohort of seven before any team view is shown
- Segment filters require a minimum of ten responses
- Employees authenticate with a magic link — we store no passwords
- Benchmark contributions are anonymised and stripped of organisational identifiers
- Aggregation happens before any human at Thrive at Work can read the data
Where your data lives.
Your data is hosted in your own region by default — we do not move it across borders unnecessarily. Where a cross-border transfer is genuinely required, it is protected by Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
| Customer region | Data hosted in |
|---|---|
| European Union | European Union |
| United States | United States |
| United Kingdom | United Kingdom (or EU where applicable) |
Who we work with.
We use a small, carefully chosen set of sub-processors to run the service. Each is bound by a data processing agreement and held to security and privacy standards equivalent to our own. We notify clients in advance of any material change to this list.
To receive change notifications for this list, email [email protected].
If something goes wrong.
We maintain a documented incident response plan with defined severity levels, on-call ownership and post-incident review. If a personal-data breach ever occurs, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority and affected users within 72 hours, as required by GDPR.
To report a security concern or suspected vulnerability, email [email protected]. We welcome responsible disclosure and will acknowledge reports promptly.
How you go live.
Most organisations are live within two to six weeks, depending on localisation and your security review. You choose how employee data reaches us — a direct integration, single sign-on, or a secure upload — and the rest of the cycle is handled by the platform.
Direct connectors (Workday, BambooHR and more) sync employee data automatically and keep segments current cycle to cycle.
SSO with Google and Microsoft so people reach the platform with existing credentials — no new passwords to manage.
Prefer not to integrate? A secure employee-data upload with our Screener Wizard gets you live in minutes, no IT project required.
The research team co-designs your first cycle — question localisation, comms templates, and benchmark selection for your sector.
What's next.
We're candid about what's live today and what's coming. Nothing here gates a deployment — it's how the platform deepens over the next few cycles.
| Area | Today | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Certifications | GDPR compliant; run to SOC 2 & ISO 27001 controls | SOC 2 Type II & ISO 27001 reports, 2026 |
| Languages | Survey localised across major business languages | Further management-platform interface languages |
| Integrations | Workday, BambooHR, SSO (Google, Microsoft) | Expanding the connector library by demand |
| Privacy | ISO 27001 ISMS implemented | ISO 27701 privacy extension |
