Data privacy is no longer just a legal checkbox—it’s a critical component of any software handling personal information. In the recruitment industry, applicant tracking systems (ATS) manage vast amounts of sensitive candidate data, making security and compliance essential.
At MokaHR, we designed our ATS to protect personal data while streamlining hiring workflows. Here’s how we approach compliance and security in recruitment software:
The Challenge: Data Protection in Hiring
With regulations like GDPR and CCPA, organizations must ensure that applicant data is handled responsibly. A data breach or non-compliance can lead to severe penalties, reputational damage, and loss of trust.
Many ATS solutions prioritize convenience over security, leaving organizations vulnerable to risks like unauthorized data access, insecure storage, and poor consent management. We built MokaHR to address these challenges head-on.
Secure by Design
MokaHR implements security measures that go beyond standard compliance requirements:
End-to-End Encryption: All candidate data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access.
GDPR-Compliant Data Storage: We ensure that personal data is stored securely and that organizations can configure retention policies to comply with legal requirements.
Granular Access Controls: Organizations can define user permissions to prevent unauthorized data access within HR teams.
Built-in Compliance Features
MokaHR automates key compliance processes to help organizations stay ahead:
Consent Management: Candidates must provide explicit consent for data processing, with clear visibility into how their information is used.
Data Requests Handling: Organizations can efficiently manage candidate requests for data access, modification, or deletion, ensuring full compliance with privacy laws.
Audit Trails: Every data access or modification action is logged, enabling transparency and regulatory compliance.
Balancing Security with Usability
While security is a priority, we also focus on usability. MokaHR automates routine hiring tasks—resume screening, interview scheduling, and candidate communication—allowing HR teams to focus on engaging with top talent instead of managing compliance headaches.
Why Compliance Matters
Data protection is an ongoing commitment, not a one-time setup. At MokaHR, we continuously update our ATS to align with evolving privacy regulations, ensuring that our users can maintain trust and integrity in their hiring processes.
For organizations looking for a secure, compliant, and efficient hiring solution, MokaHR provides the tools needed to navigate modern data privacy challenges while optimizing recruitment workflows.
