Data Protection in the Modern Age

 

With all the other management services C&D offers, we’re always looking at how we can evolve. We consider where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going. Unfortunately, when it comes to taxes, the industry is trending towards a future of constant cybersecurity threats. 

How we develop our data protection plan is essential for keeping our clients’ data safe. After all, you are entrusting us with your money. Not to mention, protecting taxpayer information is also the law. So here are some of the steps we take to ensure you can trust C&D with your finances:

 

  • Ensure that your data is never left unsecured on hardware or media
  • Securely dispose of taxpayer information when no longer needed
  • Dual factor sign-in authentication

  • Provide up-to-date training to all staff members 
  • Enact an information security plan that immediately notifies taxpayers of any data breach or theft

 

With these basic security measures, we’ll have you covered. But here’s where we go the extra mile to protect your data.
