Serious Security.

Scaut verifies and checks candidate data to confirm it is free from risks relevant to our customers. We prioritise privacy and adhere to strict data protection regulations. Data is never shared with third parties without your explicit consent.

Access is limited to authorised personnel who need it to perform specific job functions. We implement robust access controls and conduct regular audits to ensure only those with a legitimate need can view any given dataset.

All data is securely stored in encrypted databases located in EU-based data centres. We use industry-standard security measures to protect data from unauthorised access, and all data is only transmitted over secure, encrypted channels.

After data has been used for its intended purpose, we retain it only as long as necessary for compliance and auditing obligations. Retention periods are configurable per data category and jurisdiction. Once the period expires, data is securely and permanently deleted.

We employ advanced security protocols including AES-256 encryption, TLS 1.3, real-time threat monitoring, and ISO 27001-certified processes. We also conduct regular penetration tests and independent audits. No system is 100% immune, but our layered defences represent the highest industry standard.

You can contact our Data Protection Officer directly at dpo@scaut.com. We will respond to all valid GDPR data subject requests (access, rectification, erasure, portability) within the statutory timeframes — typically within 30 days.
