PageUp

PageUp is a human resources software firm headquartered in Australia. The company provides recruitment and applicant tracking platforms that are used by organisations to manage hiring processes. Its software collects and stores personal information such as names, contact details, encrypted credentials, application histories, dates of birth, employment details, and referee information for successful applicants. Clients come from various industries, with a telecommunications organisation cited as an example of a user of the platform. By handling recruitment data, PageUp supports talent acquisition workflows for its customers. The firm’s offerings are focused on the secure management of candidate information throughout the hiring lifecycle.

In May 2018 PageUp detected malware activity on its IT infrastructure, prompting a forensic investigation and subsequent eradication of the malicious code. The incident raised concerns about potential unauthorized access to the personal data stored within its systems. Although no evidence of ongoing compromise or damage to stored documents such as resumes and employment contracts was found, the company reported the event to cybersecurity authorities and data protection regulators in multiple jurisdictions, notably the United Kingdom and Australia. The firm’s communication with regulators highlights its compliance obligations under data protection laws in the jurisdictions where it operates. The firm’s specialization in HR software means it operates at the intersection of talent management and data protection. No explicit details about its ownership, parent company, or subsidiary structure are provided in the available sources.
