Security

Data protection built for firms who cannot afford to guess.

Your books, payroll records, and tax filings pass through our hands every month. We treat that access as a responsibility, not a formality, with the same controls, restrictions, and audit habits that regulated financial teams expect from an in-house department.

DATA ENCRYPTED IN TRANSIT · ACCESS ON A NEED-TO-KNOW BASIS · GDPR-ALIGNED HANDLING

Security is a discipline we practise every day, not a one-time checklist.

Our workstation, network, physical, and people controls are built around the same frameworks that regulated financial teams are audited against, covering access control, data handling, and incident response. It is a programme we keep strengthening as we grow, in step with our clients' needs.

Information Security

The controls that sit between your data and everyone else.

Every workstation that touches client financial data runs inside a closed, monitored environment. These are the baseline controls, not the aspirational ones.

01

Restricted, role-based access

Client data is visible only to the specific team members assigned to that account. Nobody else in the business can open it, and every access event is logged.

02

Firewall and antivirus protection

All workstations sit behind an enterprise-grade firewall and run continuously updated antivirus software, with intrusion attempts flagged and reviewed.

03

Encrypted data transfer

Files move between our team and yours over encrypted, access-controlled channels. Ad hoc email attachments and personal cloud storage links are not permitted.

04

Blocked removable media

USB ports, external drives, and personal storage devices are disabled on every workstation that handles client records, so data cannot leave through a side door.

05

No personal email or unmonitored web

Personal email accounts and unauthorised web services are blocked on production machines. Internet access is limited to what the work actually requires.

06

Continuous activity monitoring

Workstation activity is logged and reviewed on a regular cycle, so unusual behaviour is caught early rather than discovered after the fact.

Physical Security

The office is locked down as tightly as the network.

  • Manned entry points with round-the-clock CCTV coverage across all work areas.
  • Access-controlled production floor, entered only with an authorised access card.
  • A separately secured server room, entered only by IT staff on the access list.
  • No CD, DVD, or removable drives on any workstation used for client work.
  • Locked document storage for any physical records still in transition to digital.
Data Handling

What happens to your data once the work is done.

  • Need-to-know access only. Data is scoped to the individuals working your account, never the wider team.
  • Signed confidentiality agreements with every employee before they touch a live client file.
  • Defined retention periods, with data archived or securely destroyed once it is no longer needed.
  • Client-by-client segregation. One client's records are never mixed with another's in shared folders or templates.
  • Written incident response steps, so any issue is contained, reported, and resolved on a fixed timeline.
People

The team handling your books is vetted before they see a single number.

Software controls only work if the people behind them are trustworthy. We screen for that deliberately, at every stage.

01

Background checks before hiring

Every team member with access to client financial data goes through a verified background check as a condition of employment, not an afterthought.

02

Signed NDAs, without exception

Non-disclosure agreements are signed before onboarding to any client account, and cover both the data itself and the working relationship.

03

Ongoing security awareness training

Staff are periodically retrained on data handling policy, phishing recognition, and the reasoning behind the controls, not just the rules themselves.

Data Protection

Built to the discipline our clients expect, from day one.

We hold ourselves to a high standard for how client data is collected, stored, and protected, and we keep strengthening that programme as we grow.

Data protection practice

GDPR-aligned data handling

  • Data minimisation, collecting only what a service genuinely requires
  • Defined data retention and secure deletion schedules
  • Client data segregation across every account we manage
  • A named point of contact for any data protection query
Ongoing governance

Reviewed, tested, and retrained

  • Regular internal reviews of access permissions and security policy
  • Periodic incident response testing across the team
  • Refresher security awareness training for all staff
  • Ongoing risk review of any vendor or software we rely on
