Data Security and Privacy

Digital CFO places paramount importance on data security and privacy, ensuring that all sensitive financial data is safeguarded with the highest standards. The platform incorporates robust security measures such as encryption of data at rest and in transit, ensuring that all information is protected from unauthorized access. Role-based access controls further enhance security by allowing only authorized personnel to view and interact with specific data, minimizing the risk of data breaches.

Overview

Hosting Digital CFO on Microsoft Azure’s cloud infrastructure significantly enhances these security capabilities. Azure provides a multi-layered security approach, including advanced threat protection, continuous security monitoring, and automated security management. The platform benefits from Azure’s compliance with global regulatory standards such as GDPR, ISO 27001, and SOC, ensuring that the data handled by Digital CFO is not only secure but also compliant with international regulations.

Moreover, Azure’s data redundancy and disaster recovery solutions ensure that data is not only secure but also available and resilient against potential disruptions. This combination of Digital CFO’s built-in security features with Azure’s state-of-the-art infrastructure provides a secure and reliable environment for managing financial data, giving users peace of mind regarding the safety and privacy of their information.

Data generated and managed by DigitalCFO branded applications follows a lifecycle as described below:

Data access

We offer 2-factor authentication using One Time Password. This helps in authenticating and authorizing proper users to use our applications.
