Compliance with confidence

Ensuring the security and privacy of sensitive information is essential for any business leveraging AI. Brandly takes data protection seriously, offering a platform built on a foundation of compliance, privacy, and security. From SOC 2 security protocols and GDPR adherence to creating a secure “walled garden” data environment, Brandly supercharges businesses securely in every interaction.

In this article, we explore how Brandly upholds high standards of security, privacy, and regulatory compliance and how our AI-driven assistants are designed to meet the demands of both local and international business environments.

1. Data security with SOC 2 compliance

Brandly meets the stringent requirements of SOC 2 security protocol compliance, ensuring that all customer data is securely managed and that our systems are designed with rigorous security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy protocols. SOC 2 compliance verifies that Brandly’s infrastructure, software, and processes meet internationally recognised standards for data handling and cybersecurity.

Key benefits of SOC 2 compliance:

• Rigorous data protection: Protects customer data from unauthorised access, breaches, and vulnerabilities.
• Trust and transparency: Demonstrates Brandly’s commitment to the highest level of security, building trust with clients.
• Ongoing monitoring: Regular assessments and continuous monitoring ensure that our infrastructure is kept up-to-date and safeguarded against evolving security threats.

For businesses, knowing that Brandly’s platform is SOC 2 compliant means peace of mind, as they can trust that their data is handled with the utmost care and protection.

2. GDPR compliance and commitment to EU legislation

As a company that operates globally, Brandly is fully GDPR-compliant and upholds all EU privacy and data protection standards. We are dedicated to maintaining the privacy and rights of our users, ensuring that their personal and business data is processed responsibly and transparently.

Under GDPR, businesses are required to have clear policies around data collection, storage, processing, and disposal. Brandly not only meets these requirements but also goes above and beyond to ensure that customer data is only used for its intended purpose and is never shared externally without explicit consent.

GDPR compliance features:

• Data minimisation and purpose limitation: We only collect and process data essential for providing our services and always disclose the purpose.
• User rights and consent: Users can exercise their GDPR rights, including access, rectification, and deletion of data.
• Privacy by design: Our systems are developed with privacy-first principles to ensure that customer data is always handled responsibly.

GDPR compliance allows businesses to use Brandly with confidence, knowing their data is protected and that Brandly respects EU data privacy laws.

3. A secure “walled garden” for data privacy

At Brandly, data privacy is paramount. We operate within a “walled garden” environment, meaning that our users’ data is safeguarded and isolated from external access. Unlike other AI systems that may use data for broad AI training purposes, Brandly ensures that personal and business data remains confidential, used only to power individualised experiences within each business.

What the “walled garden” means for your data:

• No data sharing for AI training: Brandly does not share any customer data with external AI models or use it to train other artificial intelligence systems.
• Customised AI for each business: Each Brandly assistant is tailored specifically to its user, using only relevant business data and local compliance requirements.
• Enhanced security and privacy: With data contained within the platform, Brandly reduces the risk of external access, ensuring that all interactions remain private.

The “walled garden” approach not only safeguards data but also ensures that each Brandly assistant is truly bespoke, focusing on the unique needs and compliance standards of each business.

4. Regulatory compliance across jurisdictions

Brandly assistants are designed to operate within a variety of regulatory landscapes, including the UK, EU, Guernsey, Jersey and Isle of Man. Our assistants are adaptable to evolving laws, so you can trust they will stay up to date and aligned with your local requirements.

Compliance across multiple jurisdictions:

• Adaptability to changing laws: Brandly is updated with the latest regulations, ensuring continued compliance in complex and shifting legal environments.
• Jurisdiction-specific knowledge: We incorporate unique regulations from each jurisdiction, allowing businesses in Guernsey, Jersey, the UK, and EU to meet specific compliance standards seamlessly.
• International scalability: With Brandly, businesses operating in multiple locations can scale confidently, knowing that each AI assistant is attuned to the legal requirements of the respective region.

Whether your business operates locally or internationally, Brandly’s compliance-focused approach ensures that you’re well-protected and always within legal bounds.
