Security & Data Protection

How Fosterli keeps agency and applicant data safe

Fostering assessments involve some of the most sensitive information an agency handles. Here's what's built into the platform to protect it.

The standards we hold ourselves to

Built around what fostering agencies are already required to meet

GDPR Compliant

UK-hosted data, role-based access controls and clear data retention policies have been built into the platform from day one.

Cyber Essentials Plus certified

The enhanced level of the Government-backed Cyber Essentials scheme, with Fosterli’s cyber controls independently tested and verified through a technical audit by an approved assessor.

UK data hosting

All fostering service and Applicant data is stored on UK servers, giving services clear assurance over where sensitive information is held.

Full audit trails

Key actions and document changes are recorded within Fosterli, creating an auditable history of activity across the platform.

Role-based access

Each person sees only the information and actions relevant to their responsibilities. Assessors see their own caseload, managers can oversee team progress, and reporting is restricted to authorised users.
