Secure online accounting software

Many companies are now transitioning away from desktop accounting software to online based software. This enables companies to access information at any time from anywhere. It’s a huge advantage for employees who are constantly on the go, however, it does raise questions about security.

There are three areas of online security that generally raise questions:

data storage
data in transit
human factors

Data storage involves where data is actually stored. Secure online software will have servers tat are protected both physically and electronically. Physically, meaning that the server is locked in a building where only authorised people can access it, and electronically meaning protected from hackers and backed up in case of a system glitch.

Data in transit involves the transitioning on data back and forth from a computer to the main server. Basically, secure online software will be encrypted when in transit to avoid data being intercepted. Encryption means data is coded and not identifiable to interceptors.

Human factors involve the security of passwords and accessibility. It is quite simple as it involves not sharing passwords with people who do not require access and not leaving passwords written down where someone may be able to access them.

TaxTrex software achieves secure R&D claim accounting online by protecting data through a rigorous series of protocols, including:

Part One

URL encryption

Extensive URL Encryption precautions are in place, ensuring that no information is passed to outside sources. This protects against forceful browsing, a calculated attack meant to access data through unlinked directory files or web applications.

Part Two

SSL certification

The R&D tax accounting software is embedded with a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certification. This helps to directly link sensitive information, such as design images or testing results, to the TaxTrex server. No third-party proxies are used.

Part Three

Data encryption

Secure R&D claim accounting online can only be achieved through Data Encryption. This scrambles all text, images, and downloadable content, rendering it unreadable to hackers. It also ensures that each transmission is protected against interference.

Part Four

SQL injection prevention

All R&D accounting software is defined by SQL (Structured Query Language). This serves as the main procedural mechanism, allowing data to be monitored, analysed, and stored. It’s no surprise, therefore, that SQL attacks are the most common and often result in stolen information. TaxTrex avoids this, however, through layered protocols and prevention technology: such as protected algorithms and limited database queries. Through these four elements our R&D claim accounting software delivers superior results and superior security.
