At Blue Gum Bookkeeping, we respect our client data using the gold standard in data security platforms for accounting firms, worldwide - Practice Protect

Recently, we implemented a platform called Practice Protect and the primary reason was because of you.

We recognize the trust that you place in us by handing over sensitive data, passwords and access to our systems. Practice Protect is a software built for accounting firms to help manage the flow and storage of data securely.
You can read more about it at www.practiceprotect.com

We take security seriously and while our servers, internet, and firewalls are secure, often, it’s the sharing of data that can be problematic for accounting firms. Luckily, we’ve never encountered issues but we’ve heard many stories of serious incidents caused by a lack of discipline on the accounting firms end. That won’t ever be us and Practice Protect is part of the journey we’ve walked on to honor our commitment.

Just some of the features that will give you greater peace of mind include:
2048-bit encryption - many times that of a standard password manager
Password cloaking - our team will never see your user login details
Timed, IP, and geo-specific access locks for our team
Randomly generated mass password resets
Total monitoring to ensure that your data is only accessed when provisioned
One click user lockouts
Compliance documents and regular team training

We value the relationship we have with you and want to do our very best to uphold the trust you’ve placed in us.

Blue Gum Bookkeeping has undergone a rigorous audit of our data security practices to become certified by the Accounting Data Security Standard. Acceptance is not automatic and among other things, our email server setup, data storage systems, password management protocol, and team training were assessed to ensure we met the benchmark required.

We also sat the ADSS test and passed with flying colours. The Accounting Data Security Standard (ADSS) is a gold standard in data protection for bookkeepers and accountants, worldwide.

It’s all part of our commitment to clients to protect their data as if it were our own and take care of its management - we recognize the trust you’ve placed in us and we want to honour that trust as best we can.
