Security and Privacy

Your data. Your agency. Nobody else's.

scout. is built so that your candidate records, compliance documents, and agency data stay completely private. Here is how.

Isolated Environment

Your own isolated environment

Each agency on scout. has their own separate data environment. Your candidate records, DBS documents, SCR entries, and Right to Work files are never mixed with another agency's data.

UK Data Only

UK data only

All data is stored and processed in the UK, in line with UK GDPR. Your candidate data never leaves the country.

Audit Trail

Ofsted-ready audit trail

Every action scout. takes is logged with a timestamp. If Ofsted asks for a record of your compliance activity, it is all there, exportable in minutes.

Data Ownership

You own your data

You can export everything at any time. If you ever leave scout., your data comes with you. No lock-in.

DPA

Data Processing Agreement

A DPA is available on request. If your school or trust requires one before working with you, we can provide it.

What this means in practice

No shared databases. No data sold to third parties. No AI training on your records.

  • Your candidate records are visible only to your agency
  • DBS documents and SCR entries are stored in your isolated environment
  • All data stays in the UK at all times
  • Every compliance action is timestamped and exportable
  • You can take your data with you if you ever leave
  • A Data Processing Agreement is available on request
