Tested and trusted
OCTA undergoes regular penetration testing by independent security firms and offers data residency options for enterprise customers who require in-region data storage. Security is built into the platform architecture so finance teams can automate sensitive AR, AP, and reconciliation workflows with confidence, knowing that every transaction and approval is protected and auditable.
Security for accounting firms
For accounting firms on OCTA Flow, data is isolated per firm and per client engagement. No client data is shared across firm boundaries, and firm administrators control which team members can access which client workspaces.
