At Audit My Payroll, we prioritise the security of our clients’ data by leveraging Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform, which offers advanced security features and ensures compliance with the Australian Privacy Act. Here are some key measures we implement:

1. Data Encryption: All client data is encrypted both at rest and in transit using industry-standard encryption protocols, ensuring data is protected from unauthorised access.
