Security & Trust Centre

Enterprise Trust & Procurement

AccountScope is engineered to meet the strict security, compliance, and confidentiality requirements of UK law firms, Big 4 advisors, forensic accounting practices, and financial regulatory bodies.

1. Security & Encryption

AccountScope enforces the highest encryption standards to secure financial evidence registers. Access controls implement the principle of least privilege, preventing unauthorized transaction data visibility.

TLS 1.3 Encryption

All data in transit between users and our application is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3) protocols. HTTPS is strictly enforced.

AES-256 at Rest

All transactional details, files, metadata, and database records are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. Encryption keys are rotated automatically.

Tenant Isolation

Logical separation of data ensures that tenant groups can never view or modify transaction logs belonging to separate clients.

Audit Log Chains

Every administrative override, category revision, and transaction exclusion is permanently recorded in structured audit log databases.

2. Data Protection & UK GDPR

AccountScope acts as a Data Processor, operating strictly under the documented instructions of our customers (Data Controllers). We adhere to UK GDPR principles and security regulations.

UK GDPR Compliance

AccountScope meets all UK GDPR criteria, implementing comprehensive Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and maintaining records of processing activities.

Pre-Signed DPA Template

An executed, pre-signed UK GDPR-compliant Data Processing Addendum (DPA) is available for immediate download here, allowing legal departments to fast-track compliance reviews.

7. Procurement FAQ

Are our statements used to train public AI models?
No. AccountScope is engineered with strict AI Provider Neutrality. Your firm has full control over where transaction data is processed. You can route queries through your own Microsoft Azure OpenAI subscription, AWS Bedrock instance, Copilot Studio custom agent flow, a private local/on-premise gateway, or run completely offline with our local Rules-Only mode (zero HTTP requests). If using AccountScope Managed AI, we enforce strict data redaction (removing names, account numbers, sort codes, postcodes) and route queries through OpenAI Zero-Data-Retention (ZDR) endpoints, ensuring data is never logged or used for model training.
Where does data residency reside?
All relational database fields, file storage caches, and analytical results reside strictly within the AWS London Region (eu-west-2) in the United Kingdom. We do not export statement files across borders.
Can we export and purge data permanently?
Yes. Account administrators can delete cases directly, which triggers immediate, permanent, secure database overwriting and storage purging. Deleted records are unrecoverable.
