Access to client systems is granted per person and per engagement, revoked at handover, and never shared through a common login. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Credentials live in a managed password vault, not in email or spreadsheets. No system is perfectly secure, and if a breach affected your data we would tell you promptly and plainly rather than quietly.
