What we collect

Your name, organization, work email, and role; your contact preference; high-level context (industry, size band, team structure, technology areas, optional product names); and your questionnaire answers.

How it is protected

Each organization's responses are isolated. Results can only be opened from the browser where you took the assessment or by signing in to the account it is linked to. Only authorized EQ Comply analysts can see submissions, to prepare reviews you request.

Contact

We only contact you if you agree. Pulse does not send automated marketing emails or share your details with third-party CRMs.

AI processing

Independent AI Validation is not active. If it is enabled in future, answers will only be sent to an AI provider for organizations that gave explicit consent, under disclosed data-handling terms. Submissions are never used to train models. Every AI observation is reviewed by an analyst before it reaches you.

Your score

The Pulse Operational Score is calculated by a fixed, published formula from your answers. It is a directional operational diagnostic — not a certified security rating, audit opinion, or guarantee of risk reduction or savings.

Deleting your data

Use "Delete my assessment and data" at the bottom of your results page. It permanently removes your answers, score, contact record, and any review notes about it.
