Security & data protection
EMP² is a browser-based GMP training tool. It is designed to be safe to adopt even under strict corporate IT and pharmaceutical quality rules: nothing is installed, and no confidential, patient or regulated (GxP) data is ever collected. This page is intended to be shared with your IT security and QA teams.
Nothing to install
100% browser-based. No agent, no desktop app, no software deployed on your network or devices.
No sensitive data
We hold no patient data, no manufacturing or batch records, and nothing used for GMP release decisions.
Not a GxP system
A training & self-assessment tool — outside the scope of CSV validation (EU GMP Annex 11 / 21 CFR Part 11).
EU hosting, GDPR
Hosted on EU infrastructure, GDPR-compliant, with a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) available on request.
Encrypted
All traffic over TLS/HTTPS; data encrypted at rest by our infrastructure providers.
Weekly email
Each week we email your team a one-click link to that week's 3 expert questions — no password to manage and no software to install.
Why EMP² is low-risk to approve
The usual concern with new software is a system that ingests confidential data or must be installed and validated. EMP² is neither:
- It is a training tool, not a quality system. It is not used to make, record or support any GMP decision, so it does not fall under computerised-system validation (EU GMP Annex 11 / 21 CFR Part 11).
- The only personal data is a work email and quiz scores. No patient data, no product/batch data, no documents from your environment.
- No footprint on your estate. It runs in the browser — there is nothing to deploy, patch or maintain on your side.
What data we hold
- Email — to send the weekly questions and/or run your account.
- Display name & encrypted password — only if an account is created (managed by Supabase Auth; passwords are hashed, never stored in clear).
- Training activity — quiz answers, scores and streaks, to show progress and leaderboards.
- No card data — payments are handled entirely by Stripe.
- Retention — account data and training activity are kept while your account is active. On deletion request, all personal data is removed within 30 days.

Infrastructure & subprocessors
We rely on a short list of established providers, each bound by a GDPR data-processing agreement and maintaining recognised security certifications:
| Provider | Role | Assurance |
|---|---|---|
| Vercel | Application hosting & CDN | SOC 2 Type II |
| Supabase | Database & authentication (EU) | SOC 2 Type II |
| Resend | Transactional / weekly email | Built on AWS (SOC 2, ISO 27001) |
| Stripe | Payments (we never see card data) | PCI-DSS Level 1 |
Data in transit is protected with TLS/HTTPS; data at rest is encrypted by the providers above. We use no advertising trackers or third-party analytics cookies.
Application & transport security
- HTTPS everywhere with HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) enforced.
- Hardened HTTP headers on every response: Content-Security-Policy, anti-clickjacking (X-Frame-Options / frame-ancestors), MIME-sniffing protection, and a strict referrer & permissions policy.
- Authenticated email — our sending domain is protected with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, so recipients can verify that messages genuinely come from us and spoofed mail is rejected.
- Least-privilege data access — database row-level security; server-only secrets; payments delegated to Stripe (PCI-DSS).
- Incident response — in the unlikely event of a personal data breach, affected customers are notified without undue delay and within 72 hours, in line with GDPR Art. 33–34.
Options for enterprise & regulated teams
- Weekly email — every week we email your team a secure one-click link to that week's 3 expert questions. No password and no software to set up: the link opens the questions in the web app, and any email can be unsubscribed in one click.
- DPA & security questionnaire — a signed GDPR Data Processing Agreement and answers to your vendor security questionnaire (CAIQ / SIG-lite) are available on request.
- SSO & enterprise options — single sign-on (SAML) and dedicated hosting are on our enterprise roadmap. If this is a requirement for your organisation, contact us to discuss timelines.
