Emails are an effective means of communication, however, they’re an insecure method of sharing files. Email accounts are frequently compromised and are therefore not a safe platform for sending and receiving documents.
When exchanging information about your accounts and your business, security is paramount. Our client portal uses IRIS OpenSpace, an online platform specifically designed for accountants and clients to collaborate. All files are encrypted using SSL and AES technologies, ensuring total security.
This portal enables secure two-way document exchange, so it can be used for your contact at Randall & Payne to send you files for approval, but it is also a secure way for you to upload documents to us too. It also allows the electronic signing of documents, expediting many processes.
With emails posing an increasing security risk and GDPR regulations, it is important to upgrade to our client portal if you don’t already use IRIS OpenSpace.
You can register in 4 simple steps:
- Let your usual contact know that you would like to be set up on IRIS OpenSpace
- Click on the link in an email from IRIS OpenSpace originated by Randall & Payne and create your account
- Create a password for your account
- Start using your account – you can now securely exchange documents with your accountant
