Security Framework

Comprehensive security - at every layer.

From the moment you send your first bookkeeping batch or payroll file to the day the engagement closes, six overlapping layers of security protect your UK clients' data.

01

GDPR Compliance

Registered and compliant under UK GDPR. A Data Processing Agreement is signed with every UK firm before any bookkeeping, payroll, or tax engagement begins.

02

NDA Before Work Begins

A non-disclosure agreement is signed before any client files are accessed - whether for accounting and bookkeeping services, payroll, or self assessment tax return work.

03

Data Encryption

256-bit AES encryption secures every payroll file, bookkeeping record, and CT600 tax return in transit and at rest. No exceptions.

04

Access Controls

Role-based permissions and multi-factor authentication ensure only the assigned outsourced bookkeeping or payroll team can view client data. Zero third-party sharing.

05

Secure Data Disposal

Once your bookkeeping, VAT, or tax return engagement closes, all client data is permanently deleted in line with agreed retention terms.

06

ISO 27001 Framework

Our information security management follows ISO 27001 standards - the global benchmark for protecting outsourced accounting and bookkeeping services data.

We will sign your NDA first.

Questions We Hear All the Time

Real questions from UK accountancy practices answered honestly.

If you're considering bringing in external support for your construction clients, you probably have a few questions. Here are the ones we get asked most, with straight answers.

Still have questions? Get in touch

Yes. We are registered and compliant with UK GDPR. Every engagement begins with a signed Data Processing Agreement that sets out exactly how your client data will be handled, stored, and disposed of.

Absolutely. We sign a non-disclosure agreement before any files are shared or work begins. If your firm has its own NDA template, we are happy to sign that instead.

All data in transit and at rest is protected with 256-bit AES encryption. We use only encrypted channels - secure FTP, password-protected PDFs, or permission-based cloud storage - and we never use unencrypted email attachments.

Access is role-based and strictly limited to the team members assigned to your engagement. Multi-factor authentication is mandatory for all staff. No third party ever receives access to your data.

All client data is permanently deleted at the end of the engagement in line with the retention terms agreed in your Data Processing Agreement. We confirm deletion in writing.

Yes. We are happy to share a full copy of our security policy with any prospective client. Simply contact us and we will send it within one working day - no commitment required.
