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.

DPA Availability

A signable UK GDPR-compliant Data Processing Addendum (DPA) is available in account settings, setting out our obligations on data transfer and processing.

3. Compliance & Audits

We align our internal security controls with global standards to ensure external credibility.

4. Infrastructure & Resilience

Our platform operates on a robust, UK-hosted cloud infrastructure designed to survive server failures, network loss, or database outages.

UK London Residency

7. Procurement FAQ

Are our statements used to train public AI models?
No. Our transaction categorization engine uses strip-minimised transaction descriptions (completely stripped of sort codes, account numbers, and client names before sending) through OpenAI Zero-Data-Retention (ZDR) enterprise endpoints. The raw bank statement files are parsed locally and never sent to any AI subprocessors. Users can also opt-out of AI-based categorization entirely to rely solely on local pattern matching.
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.
