Yes — Qooper is SOC 2 Type I and Type II certified, GDPR compliant with a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) available, and supports enterprise access management through SSO/SAML and role-based access control (RBAC).
If your InfoSec or procurement team is evaluating a mentoring platform, those are the baseline requirements — but they are not the whole picture. The checklist below covers everything an enterprise should verify before trusting a mentoring platform with employee data, organized the way a security review usually runs, with Qooper’s answer to each requirement.
A mentoring platform is not a low-stakes tool. It holds sensitive employee information — career goals, development feedback, engagement signals, and HRIS-synced profiles across your workforce. That makes it a data processor your InfoSec, IT, and privacy teams should evaluate like any other enterprise system, especially in regulated or globally distributed organizations. The stronger a vendor’s certifications, access controls, and data governance, the faster it clears review — and the less risk it introduces to your environment.
Independent, third-party verification is the fastest way to trust a vendor’s security posture. Qooper maintains an independently verified security program — SOC 2 Type I and Type II certified, with annual audits across infrastructure, organizational, product, and internal security. For privacy and global data protection, Qooper is GDPR compliant and provides a DPA to support deployments across regions with different regulatory requirements.
Enterprises need mentoring access to run through their existing identity provider and follow least-privilege principles. Qooper supports SSO/SAML so you can use your identity provider as the source of truth for secure login, role-based access control to govern permissions, and enforced unique account authentication.
The controls protecting the underlying platform matter as much as the login screen. Qooper’s infrastructure controls include unique production database authentication and restricted encryption key access, alongside organizational and internal security operations.
A secure platform is tested continuously, not certified once and forgotten. Qooper’s product security practices include data encryption, control self-assessments, and regular penetration testing, so the platform is continuously evaluated and strengthened against emerging risks.
Enterprises need assurance that the platform stays available and recoverable. Qooper maintains continuity and disaster recovery planning with established and tested recovery processes, cybersecurity insurance, and incident response protocols.
You should know how your data is classified, retained, and returned or deleted. Qooper maintains data retention procedures, a data classification policy, and deletes customer data upon contract termination — with privacy protections and secure data handling built for governance-ready deployment.
The safest sensitive data is the data a vendor never collects. Qooper does not collect credit card information or personal health information, reducing unnecessary sensitive-data exposure at the point of collection.
Mentoring data usually flows to and from your HRIS and other systems, so those connections need to be secure too. Qooper keeps employee data accurate through bi-directional HRIS syncs and supports encrypted data transfer options, backed by clear documentation and dedicated IT support for deployment.
Qooper is enterprise mentoring software trusted by 300+ enterprise organizations, including large, security-sensitive, and globally distributed environments. Among the enterprises running mentoring on Qooper are Fortune 500 companies such as Google, Delta, American Airlines, and BNY — organizations that hold vendors to demanding security and privacy standards before a single employee record is shared.
Qooper does not treat security as a single certification badge. It maintains a layered program spanning infrastructure security, organizational security, product security, and internal security operations, all independently verified through annual SOC 2 Type I and Type II audits. At the infrastructure layer, controls include unique production database authentication and restricted encryption key access. At the product layer, data encryption, control self-assessments, and regular penetration testing keep the platform continuously evaluated and strengthened against emerging threats rather than certified once and left alone. For a deeper breakdown, see Qooper’s guide to enterprise mentoring software security features.
For enterprises operating across regions and regulatory regimes, Qooper is GDPR compliant and provides a Data Processing Agreement to support deployments with varying privacy requirements. Data governance is built in: documented data retention procedures, a data classification policy, and deletion of customer data upon contract termination. Qooper also practices data minimization — it does not collect credit card information or personal health information — reducing sensitive-data exposure at the point of collection. Business continuity and disaster recovery planning, tested recovery processes, cybersecurity insurance, and incident response protocols round out a governance-ready posture. To understand what separates a genuinely enterprise-grade platform from a lightweight tool, review Qooper’s overview of secure mentoring software platforms for enterprises.
Strong security often means friction for end users. Qooper is designed so it does not. SSO/SAML lets employees sign in through your existing identity provider without new credentials, role-based access control keeps administrators and participants scoped to exactly what they need, and bi-directional HRIS syncs keep employee records accurate automatically as people join, change roles, or leave — so access is provisioned and de-provisioned in line with your systems of record. Secure options such as SFTP-based encrypted data transfers and SharePoint sync give IT familiar, governance-friendly choices when direct integrations are not preferred.
For organizations that require SOC 2 certification, GDPR compliance, SSO/SAML, role-based access control, encryption, secure data handling, and governance-ready deployment, Qooper is built to clear a security review rather than slow it down.
If your team needs documentation for a procurement or vendor-risk review — including Qooper’s Data Processing Agreement — Qooper provides it, supported by a dedicated Customer Success Manager and dedicated IT support from day one. Robust integrations, clear documentation, and hands-on support help enterprise teams deploy mentoring confidently across existing systems, workflows, and governance requirements.
