How Sage Intacct Takes Cybersecurity Seriously

Don’t invest in a new piece of software without considering cybersecurity – especially if it’s financial management software. 

A recent outbreak of cyber attacks, including the ominous rise of ransomware, has shown that anyone can be a target, everyone can fall victim, and just one successful attack can lead to a crisis. Companies large and small are rightfully concerned about cybersecurity like never before. 

Financial data and accounting controls are a prime target for attack. They need to be surrounded by multiple layers of cybersecurity. Any solution that does not take cybersecurity seriously only raises the risk of an attack, making it more likely to succeed and more devastating when it does. Lowering that risk depends on selecting software that can prove it makes cybersecurity a priority. 

Sage Intacct helps users feel confident their financial data is safe and secure by incorporating cybersecurity into every phase of development. Not only is data more secure in Sage Intacct’s native-cloud environment; it’s easier to manage that security and less expensive too, which is ideal for companies with lean security teams and budgets. Sage Intacct takes cybersecurity seriously by:

• Seeking Third-Party Validation – Sage Intacct’s native-cloud environment complies with the highest international security standards and has received certification for security excellence. 
• Conducting Quarterly Testing – Rigorous third-party testing conducted every quarter reveals any cybersecurity gaps or vulnerabilities to correct them preemptively and make the solution ever stronger. 
• Monitoring in Real-Time – The internal security team at Sage Intacct monitors the system round-the-clock to see the earliest evidence of incoming attacks and prevent them in advance. Users also receive immediate notification about security issues that require their attention. 
• Customizing Security Controls – Users can customize cybersecurity controls such as password rules or role-based permissions to conform with their organizational structure and security requirements. 
• Securing Physical Servers – All Sage Intacct servers are housed in secure facilities designed to prevent and mitigate every conceivable issue that could compromise data security or availability. 
• Providing Data Recovery – Sage Intacct backs up all the data in a user’s system on a daily basis, and transactional data gets backed up continuously. That way, if data is ever lost for any reason, Sage Intacct can provide complete data recovery in just 24 hours. 
• Running Virus Screening – Commercial-grade antivirus protects every location where user data is stored, accessed, or processed to keep intrusive attacks and malicious code out of the system.
