Data Protection and Security
We implement multiple layers of security to protect your financial data. Our approach combines industry-standard encryption with regular security audits and staff training.
Encryption: All data transmission uses TLS 1.3 encryption, and sensitive information is encrypted at rest using AES-256 standards.
Access Controls: Staff access to personal data is limited to those who need it for their job functions, with regular access reviews.
Infrastructure: Our servers are hosted in secure facilities with 24/7 monitoring and regular security updates.
We conduct quarterly security assessments and maintain incident response procedures. While we take extensive measures to protect your data, no system is completely secure, and we encourage you to use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication.
