Security & trust

Security, privacy and data governance, built in

Formation CRM is designed for schemes that manage high-value, high-sensitivity records. Security, privacy and data governance are core to how we design, host and support the platform.

ISO 27001 compliant Built for PII MFA & SSO

Built for sensitive worker, employer and financial data

Schemes handle some of the most sensitive personal and financial information in the country. Formation CRM is engineered for secure handling of personally identifiable information at every layer, from how we develop and host the platform to how your operators access it every day.

Identity & access

Strong authentication and least-privilege access

Protect accounts from unauthorised logins and give every user exactly the access they need, no more, no less.

  • Multi-factor authentication across the Company Portal, Member Portal and Back Office, configurable per portal.
  • Single sign-on with ADFS federated identity for fund staff.

MFA available for all portals.

Verified logins

Unique one-time codes complete each sign-in.

ISO 27001-compliant information security underpins how we develop, deploy and support Formation CRM. A comprehensive audit history records changes and access across the platform, and migration is governed end-to-end so sensitive data is protected from day one.
