Security Statement: How We Protect Your Data

At Golden Digits Accounting Services, the security of your financial and personal information is our highest priority. As an Enrolled Agent (EA) firm, we adhere to strict IRS Security Summit standards and federal regulations (GLBA) to ensure your data remains confidential and secure.

1. Bank-Level Encryption

We utilize industry-leading encryption protocols. All data transmitted between your computer and our firm is protected by 256-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption, the same standard used by major banking institutions.

2. Secure Client Portal

We strongly discourage sending sensitive documents (like SSNs or W-2s) via standard email. Instead, we provide every client with a Secure Personal Portal.

Encrypted Storage: Documents stored in your portal are encrypted "at rest."

Access Control: Only authorized personnel with a "need to know" can access your files.

3. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

To prevent unauthorized access, our internal systems and client portals require Multi-Factor Authentication. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a unique code sent to your mobile device in addition to your password.

4. Secure Infrastructure

Our digital environment is monitored 24/7. We employ:

Advanced Firewalls: To block unauthorized network traffic.

Malware & Ransomware Protection: Regularly updated defense systems to stay ahead of cyber threats.

Regular Backups: Your data is backed up in secure, redundant locations to prevent loss due to hardware failure or natural disasters.

5. Professional Accountability

As Enrolled Agents, we are federally authorized tax practitioners who must comply with IRS Publication 4557 (Safeguarding Taxpayer Data). We perform regular security audits of our internal processes to ensure we are meeting and exceeding industry best practices.

6. Physical Security

Any physical documents handled in our California office are stored in locked, fireproof filing systems and are shredded using high-security cross-cut shredders once they are no longer needed for digital processing.
