Tax-Aid Filing is powered by TaxBandits and their security policy is stated below to ensure your data is protected.
Compliance
SOC 2 Compliance
-
- SOC 2 certification is a security standard for service organizations developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It requires companies to establish and maintain a set of controls and procedures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of client data.
-
- These controls include policies and procedures related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. SOC 2 audits evaluate whether a company’s systems and processes meet these standards.
- As a SOC 2 certified e-file provider, TaxBandits undergoes regular audits to ensure that its system and processes meet the SOC 2 standards. This means that TaxBandits has established and maintains a set of controls and procedures to protect client data and privacy throughout every aspect of operations.
HIPAA Compliance
-
- The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a US federal law that sets standards for the protection of Protected Health Information (PHI).
- PHI includes any information that can be used to identify a patient or their health condition, and as such, it is highly sensitive information that requires strong security measures to protect it.
- As a provider of services that handle PHI, TaxBandits has implemented all the required security measures to comply with HIPAA regulations. These measures include technical, physical, and administrative safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI.
CCPA Compliance
-
- The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a privacy law that gives California residents certain rights over their personal information (PI).
- PI includes any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or can be associated with a particular person or household.
- As a provider of services that handles PI of California residents, TaxBandits adheres to all the regulations of the CCPA. This means that TaxBandits provides California residents with the right to know what PI is being collected, the right to access their PI, the right to have their PI deleted, and the right to opt out of the
sale of their PI.
PCI DSS Compliance
-
- The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of policies and procedures established to ensure safe credit, debit and cash card transactions and prevent the misuse of personal information of the cardholders.
- All the payment processing tools used by TaxBandits adhere to PCI compliance requirements for encrypting and securely transmitting credit card data.
