Data Security & Confidentiality

Because Trust Is Built on Protection

At Accsera, we recognize that when you outsource sensitive financial processes, you’re entrusting us with more than just data — you’re entrusting us with your reputation. That’s why we’ve embedded enterprise-grade IT security, rigorous confidentiality protocols, and legal safeguards into the very fabric of our operations.

  • Robust IT Security Framework

Our technology environment is designed to protect client data throughout its lifecycle — from transmission and access to storage and disposal. Accsera’s infrastructure aligns with globally recognized security standards, ensuring your data is guarded at every point.

  • Key IT Security Controls in Place:

End-to-End Encryption: All client communications and file transfers are secured using SSL/TLS encryption protocols (AES-256).

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Team members only access data essential to their function. Segregation of duties is strictly enforced.

Virtual Secure Environments: All work is conducted within sandboxed virtual machines with restricted internet access and continuous monitoring.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Enforced across all cloud platforms, shared drives, and workstations.

Endpoint Security: All devices run advanced anti-malware and EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) solutions, centrally monitored by our IT team.

Data Backups & Disaster Recovery: Regular backups, redundant storage, and failover protocols ensure business continuity and data preservation.

  • Confidentiality Protocols

Confidentiality is both a cultural and contractual priority at Accsera.

Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs): Mandatory for all employees and enforced through employment contracts.

Client-Specific Confidentiality Clauses: Embedded in service agreements with explicit access, use, and re-disclosure terms.

Workstation Monitoring: All team member activities are logged and periodically reviewed to ensure adherence to client-specific protocols.

Access Logs & Audit Trails: Maintained for all file systems and software environments.

  • Compliance with Global & Indian Data Privacy Standards

While India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) is now in force, Accsera voluntarily aligns with best practices under U.S. privacy laws (e.g., GLBA, IRS Publication 1075) and international frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2.

  • Legal and Regulatory Safeguards:

The DPDP Act, 2023 establishes clear guidelines on purpose limitation, data minimization, and the rights of data principals — ensuring a legitimate and auditable framework for personal data processing.

The Act empowers the Data Protection Board of India, offering clients legal recourse in the event of breaches or non-compliance.

Our data processing practices are governed by written service agreements and include cross-border transfer consent and data retention guidelines.

Accsera follows the IRS’s 6 Safeguard Security categories for tax data handlers — Access Controls, Awareness Training, Incident Response, Contingency Planning, Data Encryption, and Security Reviews.

  • Training & Awareness

Security is not just about systems — it’s about people. All Accsera staff undergo regular, mandatory training on:

  • US data privacy standards and ethics
  • Cybersecurity best practices and phishing awareness
  • Client-specific protocols and escalation procedures
  • Our Certifications & Commitments
