Confidence and Control
At Empyrean, we understand the meaning, importance and value of protecting your data. It’s why the foundation of our technology and processes feature security and control measures designed to ensure the safety of your data. We use the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16, Reporting on Controls at a Service Organization as finalized by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) as your assurance that we uphold this important commitment. Security is maintained through a variety of means including premises access, hardware protection and data protection through the use of encryption technology, employee integrity assurance and compliance audits. This exacting philosophy is reflected in every aspect of our business. From the physical fortification of our location, hardware and data transfers, to the extensive vetting and training of our talented team, Empyrean goes far and beyond to earn the confidence of housing your corporate and employee/member information.
