"Your Data. Protected. Always."

Intro

When you share client data with an outsourcing partner, you’re placing a significant amount of trust in that organisation. At Acczy Outsourcing, we take that responsibility seriously and we’ve built our systems, processes, and culture around protecting the data we’re entrusted with.

Our Commitment to Data Security

Data protection isn’t a compliance checkbox for us; it’s a core part of how we operate. We maintain the highest standards of confidentiality, integrity, and security across all our systems and processes, with a proactive approach to identifying and managing risk.

.

Key measures we have in place:
  • Secure data handling with strictly controlled access protocols
  • Encrypted communication and file-sharing systems
  • Regular risk assessments and ongoing security monitoring
  • Staff training on data protection, confidentiality obligations, and best practice
  • Robust internal review and compliance processes

Understanding GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), in force since 25 May 2018, sets out comprehensive requirements for how personal data is collected, processed, stored, and shared. It applies within both the EU and the UK, and places clear obligations on every organisation that handles personal data.

At Acczy, we take those obligations seriously not just because we’re required to, but because our clients deserve nothing less.

Our Role as a Data Processor

In most client engagements, Acczy operates as a data processor or sub-processor meaning we handle personal data in accordance with our clients’ instructions, and only for the purposes they specify. The responsibility for determining the lawful basis and purpose of processing rests with the data controller (typically our client).

That said, we recognise our own responsibility to implement and maintain robust data security controls. We don’t take shortcuts, and we never treat data security as someone else’s problem.

UK Data Protection Framework

Operating primarily for UK-based accounting firms, Acczy aligns fully with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, as well as the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). Following Brexit, these frameworks continue to govern the processing and protection of personal data within the UK, and our systems are designed to meet their requirements

Data Protection in India

As an India-based service provider, Acczy also aligns with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 — India’s evolving framework for responsible data handling and privacy rights. We see this not as an additional burden, but as further reinforcement of the standards we already hold ourselves to.

ISO Certified. GDPR Compliant.

Acczy Outsourcing is certified to both ISO 27001 (Information Security Management System) and ISO 27701 (Privacy Information Management System). These certifications are independently verified and reflect our commitment to industry-leading standards in data security and privacy management.

Secure Data Transmission

We support multiple secure methods for transmitting client data, including:

  • FTP/SFTP servers
  • Password-protected email
  • VPN-based remote access
  • Secure cloud platforms (e.g. Dropbox Business)

Every transmission method is tested and approved by our IT team before any live work begins. Nothing is left to chance.
