FAQs

Will our data be safe within your system?

Yes. We take our responsibility of our ISO27001 certification very seriously. Our servers are hosted by Rackspace UK, one of the most reputable providers in the space, and we conduct Pen tests monthly to inform our ongoing cyber security efforts.

Are your systems SSO compatible?

Yes. We can integrate with SAML 2.0 to ensure as simple user experience as possible.

Will my admin emails bounce off of our internal firewalls and filters?

No. Our e-mail features will integrate seamlessly with your native service, ensuring your critical and timely communications get to where they need to be.

How long will it take to get up and running?

For Insiderhub, we estimate 4 weeks or less; for Sharehub ~6 weeks. This largely depends on the quality of your data and the speed of our rapport. The more we talk, the faster we can get you onboard!

Do you have a mobile app?

No. All of our systems are mobile, tablet, Mac and PC compatible; wherever a user is using our applications, our systems will function as you want them to.

How many participants/insiders can we have?

As standard, there are no limits to participants, insiders or administrators on any of our systems. If you have a population which needs awarding or managing, then Insiderhub and Sharehub will be able to help you – including historical records.

What are your environment credentials?

We have a target of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2025, although we plan to hit the target long before then!

Where do you develop your software? Do you use a 3rd party developer or international contractors?

All of our software is developed in-house, by our own dedicated team of engineers. If you have any questions about what underlies our systems, don’t hesitate to ask!

My spreadsheet works fine, why would I need a complicated system like yours?

Spreadsheets and ad hoc systems tend to work well as a short-term gap-filler. However, when it comes to version control, data privacy and critical reporting during audit, a purpose-built system will have you in a much safer and more efficient place. Cyber security and user-friendliness are top of our list in building our products, key elements spreadsheets are not optimised for.

Do you deal with private as well as listed businesses?

Yes. We cater to FTSE100, multi-billion-pound conglomerates and start-ups alike. If you use equity compensation – from SIP to LTIP and everything in between (including phantom cash plans), we can help you.

What are the limits to your outsourcing?

Nil. We will act as an extension of you Equity Compensation team, conducting your routine admin, and on-call during peak work periods. Our hours are 0900 – 1730, but we can arrange for wider service where necessary.
