IRIS employee verification and data protection
Safe and secure employment and income verification.
Data is shared under the terms of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and Experian is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
Data is encrypted using 256 bit encryption.
It's safe
• Since pay evidence is sourced directly from the employer, no payslips or sensitive information gets lost in the post or emails.
• The automation of the processes removes the need for manual processing of data.
• Reduces the potential for fraud as information is verified at source.
The employee needs to provide consent for each financial application submitted.
It's secure
• Information passed via secure API (an encrypted link), rather than email or post.
• Employees are in total control of who they share their data with as consent is provided during the application process.
