Confidentiality agreement

We restrict access to client data
We operate strict folder permissions protocols to restrict access to clients data to the dedicated accountant/PA.
Non-disclosure agreement
All our PAs are subject to robust, broad non-disclosure agreements covering everything they do at AVirtual.
Effective office security
The weak link in many organisations’ security is the physical office space – we control the working environment and access to it very carefully.
We maintain data access logs
We track all data use, and as a result it is possible to immediately identify the cause of any data loss, which is acknowledged to act as a strong deterrent.
We encrypt data
We keep all stored data in secure environments where it is encrypted to prevent data loss in the event of a failure in sharing practices.
We monitor and audit our team
We regularly check the data security practices of the team and take immediate action whenever there are any shortcomings.
We train our team to be secure
We train our team to be sensitive to data issues, and to work hard to maintain client data and confidentiality.
