The questions your legal, security and finance teams will ask.

How the employment relationship works

The engineer is employed by Virdapt's wholly owned Indian subsidiary. Virdapt is the employer of record: we hold the employment contract, run payroll, provide benefits, and carry the employment obligations.

You contract with Virdapt, not with the individual. You direct the work day to day. You do not become an employer in India, and you take on no Indian employment obligations.

Intellectual property

Every Virdapt employee signs an IP assignment as a condition of employment. Work product created for you is assigned through to you under the terms of our client agreement. Confidentiality and invention-assignment obligations survive the end of the engagement.

Data and security

Our people work on client-issued devices inside client-controlled environments. Your data stays in your estate, governed by your access controls, your logging and your policies. We do not build a copy of your environment on our side, and we do not need one.

Where you cannot issue a device, we provision a managed device and we will document its configuration for your security team.

We do not currently hold a SOC 2 report, and we will not claim one. What we can give you: a written description of our delivery model, our internal policies, and completed responses to your security questionnaire.

Background checks and screening

Every person we employ is verified through a specialist background-screening vendor before they start. Four checks, on everyone:

• Identity verification that the person is who they say they are, against government-issued documentation.
• Criminal background check conducted to the extent permitted in the relevant jurisdiction.
• Employment verification previous employers and dates confirmed directly, not taken from the CV.
• Education verification qualifications confirmed with the awarding institution.

We can furnish the reports on request. If your procurement or security team needs to see the evidence rather than take our word for it, ask and we will provide it and if you need a check we do not run as standard, tell us during scoping and we will arrange it.

Notice, exit and continuity

If you end an engagement, we handle offboarding: access revocation with your team, asset recovery, and a documented handover. Notice terms are set out in the client agreement .

If an engineer resigns, we tell you the day we know, and we start the replacement search that day.

Moving employees onto your own entity

If you set up an Indian entity later, we will transfer your team to you. No transfer fee, no penalty, no non-solicit that blocks it. We think a provider who has to trap clients is telling you something about the service.

Where we are not the right answer

We say this plainly because it saves everyone time. Virdapt EOR is not the right fit if you need multi-country coverage across a dozen jurisdictions, a self-serve platform your team administers themselves, or the lowest possible per-employee fee. We are built for companies who want the right engineer found, employed properly, and supported by a named person.
