Guide overview

EOR security evidence, at a glance.

Check scope, dates and issuer behind every assurance claim.

Check an EOR’s security evidence against the service, entities and employee data you will use. SOC 2 provides an assurance report; ISO 27001 concerns information-security management; GDPR certification, where claimed, needs an approved scheme and a defined processing scope. None of these establishes employment licensing or payroll accuracy.

What to do when the assurance evidence has a gap

When a document leaves part of your payroll service uncovered, write down what’s missing, what you’ve requested and who has authority to accept or reject the risk.

Start with the documents to request. Review each evidence type, then keep the outcome in the assurance-review register. A SOC 2 report, an ISO certificate and GDPR evidence answer different questions.

A badge or trust-platform logo does not prove coverage.

Illustrative scope check. A certificate or report covers its stated boundary; it does not automatically extend to every group company or partner.

1. Why an EOR needs a security review

Start with one employee’s data. Who receives their identity documents and bank details? Where do tax records and benefits information go, and which local payroll or benefits partners have access? Map those transfers before deciding which documents to request from the EOR.

Trace a bank-detail change from submission and approval through the system or partner that pays the employee.
Ask the EOR to identify the people, systems and evidence for this one change before reviewing its wider security claims.

Use SOC 2 reports and ISO certificates to assess the information-security controls within their scope, and GDPR evidence to review how the provider handles personal data. Make separate checks for the EOR’s authority to employ people in each country and for the local compliance of its contracts and payroll.

2. SOC 2 Type I vs Type II: what each report covers

SOC 2 is a CPA firm’s attestation report, not a certificate, and it examines controls against the AICPA’s Trust Services Criteria. Check its scope, which may not cover every service, legal entity or security concern, and which categories it covers: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy.

In an EOR deal, the report type matters most:

1
Type I covers the design of controls at a specified date, with no opinion on their operating effectiveness over a period.
2
Type II also covers operating effectiveness throughout the period stated in the report, with the auditor’s tests and results. Check the start and end dates.

Whether a Type I is acceptable depends on your requirements, the data involved and other assurance, not on the provider’s age alone. If your procurement policy requires a Type II, record that and ask when the provider can meet it.

Access to a restricted-use SOC 2 report may require a nondisclosure agreement or a trust-portal login. If procurement can’t inspect the report, keep the claim open and ask why access is restricted and when a reviewer can see it. Where the supplier offers a different assurance document, check what that document covers.

Inspect the scope behind a report headline

Suppose the report covers the “Core Platform” from 1 January through 31 December and excludes a local payroll partner. Find out whether that partner handles your employees’ payroll. If it does, ask for evidence covering its work and for the controls your team or another party is expected to operate alongside the provider’s.

The example report covers the Core Platform for January through December but leaves the local payroll partner outside its system boundary.
This sample covers the Core Platform. If the partner pays your employee, ask for evidence covering the partner’s payroll work.

3. How to check an ISO 27001 certificate

ISO/IEC 27001, the international standard for an information security management system (ISMS), is certifiable, unlike SOC 2. An accredited certification body (Schellman, BSI, DNV, A-LIGN and dozens of others) audits the vendor and issues a certificate valid for a 3-year cycle, with annual surveillance audits. National bodies such as ANAB (US), UKAS (UK) and DAkkS (Germany) accredit the certification bodies, and their mark should appear on the certificate.

Match the ISO 27001 certificate holder, scope, dates and issuer to the entity and service in the agreement.
Keep a copy of the scope statement beside the proposed service. A valid certificate can cover only part of what you plan to buy.

Under the IAF accredited-certification transition, ISO 27001:2013 certificates had to expire or be withdrawn by October 31, 2025, when the International Accreditation Forum’s 3-year transition ended. Ask the certification body what evidence and assessment are required to establish a current certificate. The 2022 revision, published on October 25, 2022, restructured Annex A from 114 controls in 14 domains to 93 controls in 4 themes. It also added 11 new controls, including threat intelligence, cloud services security and data leakage prevention.

Find the scope statement on the certificate and match the named entities, systems and operations to the payroll service you’re buying. A certificate limited to corporate IT or a single office leaves the rest of that service to verify. Check the edition, validity dates and issuing body, too.

SOC 2 and ISO 27001 provide assurance in different ways. Decide whether your review needs one or both, and weigh the services covered and the evidence available over the number of badges.

4. ISO 27701: privacy management and scope

ISO/IEC 27701 covers privacy information management for personal-data controllers and processors. An EOR may be a controller for its employment obligations and a processor for other services. Base its role for each activity on what it does rather than its product label.

The 2019 edition of ISO 27701 could be held only as an add-on to an ISO 27001 certificate. ISO/IEC 27701:2025, published on October 14, 2025, is a full management system standard that can be certified on its own and adds information security controls drawn from ISO 27001. If a provider presents a 2019-edition certificate, ask its issuing body about current validity, scope and the applicable transition timetable. Do not infer validity from a trust-page badge.

As of September 2026, Papaya Global and Deel claim ISO 27701. Deel lists an ISO 27701 certificate in its trust center, though not on its main security page (checked September 2026). An ISO 27701 certificate covers privacy management within its scope; it is not a GDPR certification under Article 42. If a provider claims one, ask for the separate approved scheme and certificate.

5. GDPR certification: identify the scheme and scope

Articles 42 and 43 of the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) set up voluntary certification for specified processing operations. Certification can support evidence of compliance but does not remove the controller’s or processor’s legal responsibilities.

A GDPR certification claim needs an approved scheme, a valid certificate and a scope that covers your processing.

Look up the scheme in the EDPB register of certification mechanisms. That tells you whether the scheme is approved. To verify the provider’s claim, you still need its certificate number, issuer, validity dates and the processing operations covered. Leave the claim marked unverified until you can check those details.

Map each party’s data-protection role, then use Article 28 terms where a provider processes data on your behalf and assess controller-to-controller or joint-controller arrangements where those roles apply. Check recipients, onward processing, transfer rules and incident contacts. A DPO or EU representative is needed only where the GDPR requires one. The data residency and SCCs guide explains the transfer questions.

Separate the two notification duties. Under Article 33, a controller must notify the competent supervisory authority without undue delay and, where feasible, within 72 hours of becoming aware, unless the breach is unlikely to risk individuals’ rights and freedoms. A processor must notify its controller without undue delay, and a contractual 72-hour allowance must not dilute that duty. Agree on prompt initial notice, follow-up information and contacts.

6. Other badges and reports: check what they cover

1
SOC 3. This general-use report gives an opinion on controls but not the detailed tests and results of a SOC 2. It can be useful initial evidence, but request the SOC 2 report if your review needs the detail.
2
SOC 2 Type I presented as “SOC 2 certified.” The label identifies neither the report type nor its scope. Ask for the type and the period end date.
3
CSA STAR Level 1. This is a self-assessment questionnaire (the CAIQ) uploaded to the Cloud Security Alliance registry, with no auditor involved. Level 2, which Rippling’s trust center lists, adds a third-party assessment and is meaningful evidence.
4
ISO 27017 and 27018. Check the cloud-security or cloud-privacy scope, which organization was assessed, and which responsibilities belong to the EOR rather than its infrastructure provider. One organization’s certificate does not necessarily cover the other.
5
Compliance-platform badges. Vanta, Drata and Thoropass logos with “live trust center” widgets may show a tooling or trust-center relationship, but do not prove that an audit was completed. Legitimate audits run through these platforms, so treat the badge as neutral and ask for the report itself.
6
“Military-grade encryption” and “GDPR ready.” Those phrases do not identify an issuer, defined scope or audit. Check the documented security controls; “ready” is not a compliance status.
7
ISO 42001. This covers an AI management system and does not replace the security and privacy review of the EOR service. If AI features process employee data, check which features and activities the certificate covers.

7. Documents to request and review

Adapt this list to your services, data and risks, and agree an evidence deadline with each vendor.

1
The SOC 2 report, if your review requires it. Check the type, scope, opinion, reporting period, exceptions and remediation, and record unresolved issues and the controls your organization must operate.
2
A penetration-test summary. Ask when testing took place, which systems it covered, who performed it and whether significant findings were fixed and retested. Agree the detail your security team needs, without unnecessary exploit details.
3
The recipients and sub-processor list. Identify who receives employee data, in which countries and in what role. For sub-processors, check the authorization and change-notification arrangements.
4
The data-protection terms. Check the terms for each role, transfer arrangements, incident notification and audit provisions. Include any in-country partners in the role and data-flow map.

Record the outcome of each check:

  • Q1. Has the evidence required by your security review been shared under agreed access terms?
  • YES → Review its scope, dates and findings, then continue to Q2.
  • NO → Record the claim as unverified and ask for a reason, delivery date or acceptable alternative evidence.
  • Q2. If ISO 27001 is required, is the current certificate valid and does its scope cover the service?
  • YES → Record the certificate details and continue to Q3.
  • NO → Request current evidence and have the security reviewer assess the gap.
  • Q3. Are the data recipients, their roles and the sub-processor change arrangements documented?
  • YES → Continue to Q4.
  • NO → Resolve the missing data flows and responsibilities before approval.
  • Q4. Are data terms for each role, transfer arrangements and prompt incident-notification duties agreed?
  • YES → Submit the evidence and any remaining issues for security, legal and procurement approval.
  • NO → Resolve the legal and operational gaps before approval.

Cover the gap after the report period. Ask about material changes or incidents since the SOC 2 report period ended, and whether an updated report or bridge letter is available. A bridge letter is management’s statement, not a new auditor’s opinion, so agree how old a report your security review can accept. Request the documents at RFP stage. The 47-question RFP checklist includes the wider vendor questions.

Keep an assurance-review register

Record the entity, service, reporting period and document your team actually reviewed. Note any exceptions, controls your company must operate and parts of the proposed service outside the scope. “Requested,” “reviewed,” “expired” and “not available” belong in separate statuses so the next reviewer can see what still needs attention.

9. Frequently asked questions

Is SOC 2 a certification?
No. SOC 2 is a confidential attestation report containing a licensed CPA firm’s opinion, issued under the AICPA’s attestation standards, and there is no certificate or central registry. If a vendor claims to be “SOC 2 certified,” ask which type (I or II) it holds and what period the report covers.
What is the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?

A Type I covers the design of controls at a specified date, and a Type II also covers their operating effectiveness over a period. A Type I still has value, but ask which type your security policy requires, what other assurance exists and, if you need a Type II, the planned reporting period and delivery date.

Is an ISO 27001:2013 certificate still valid?
Under the IAF accredited-certification transition, a 2013-edition certificate is no longer current after October 31, 2025. An old website copy may simply be outdated; ask the issuer to confirm current status and any required assessment. Ask for the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certificate with its expiry date and accreditation mark.
What is a SOC 2 bridge letter?

A bridge letter is management’s statement about relevant changes since the last SOC 2 reporting period ended, and it does not extend the auditor’s opinion. Ask your security reviewer whether the report’s age, the letter and other evidence are enough, or whether you need a newer report.

Can a vendor be GDPR certified?

Yes. GDPR Articles 42 and 43 provide for voluntary certification of specified processing operations, though certification does not remove the organization’s GDPR responsibilities. Check the approved scheme, issuer, certificate validity and scope. If a vendor cannot back up its claim, record it as unverified rather than assuming it is self-assessed or that no certificate exists.
