Bank-Level Security

Your financial data, locked down tight.

We hold ourselves to the same security standards as the banks we integrate with — SOC 2 Type II certified, ISO 27001 compliant, and audited independently every year.

Our Six Pillars of Security

Protection built into every layer of our platform

From the physical infrastructure to the people who touch your data — every layer is designed with security as the default.

End-to-End Encryption

All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3 and at rest using AES-256 — the same standard used by major banks.

  • TLS 1.3 for all connections
  • AES-256 at-rest encryption
  • Encrypted database backups
  • Rotating encryption keys

Access Controls

Role-based permissions, mandatory 2FA for all team members, and SSO support for enterprise clients.

  • Role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Mandatory 2FA for all accounts
  • SSO/SAML available on Scale plan
  • Session timeout policies

Secure Infrastructure

Hosted on AWS with isolated VPCs, automated patching, and 24/7 infrastructure monitoring.

  • AWS SOC 2 compliant hosting
  • Isolated VPC per environment
  • Automated security patches
  • DDoS protection via CloudFront

Background-Checked Team

Every accountant and engineer passes criminal background checks and signs strict NDAs before accessing client data.

  • Criminal background checks
  • Annual security training
  • Strict NDAs for all staff
  • Least-privilege access model

Daily Backups

Automated daily snapshots stored in geographically redundant locations — your data is never a single point of failure.

  • Daily automated backups
  • Multi-region replication
  • 30-day backup retention
  • Point-in-time recovery

Continuous Monitoring

Real-time intrusion detection, anomaly alerts, and 24/7 SOC monitoring across all production systems.

  • 24/7 Security Operations Center
  • Real-time intrusion detection
  • Anomaly-based alerting
  • Audit logs for every action

Our Infrastructure

Six layers of defense between your data and the outside world

We don't just rely on a single security measure. Every request to iAccounts.ai passes through multiple layers of hardened infrastructure — each independently monitored and audited.

Our stack runs entirely on AWS, inheriting their SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS certifications on top of our own. If one layer fails, five more stand between an attacker and your financials.
