Prioritizing data security is essential when you trust cloud-based software with your business’s financial information. Here’s exactly how YourBooks protects your data — not marketing language, but the specific measures in place.
Where Your Data Lives
All YourBooks data is hosted on cloud infrastructure located on Indian servers, ensuring complete data residency within the country.
Backups and Data Retention
- Nightly backups: both the database and file system are backed up every night, with the last seven days retained — so your data can be recovered quickly if something goes wrong.
- Long-term retention: your organisation’s records are preserved for nine years, comfortably covering Indian statutory record-keeping requirements.
Encryption and Authentication
- Encrypted communication: all data is transmitted over HTTPS, protecting sensitive financial information in transit.
- Secure authentication: API access is secured using JWT-based authentication, with multi-level security on user login.
- One-way password encryption: passwords are stored using one-way encryption (hashing) and are never kept in plain text — they can’t be viewed or recovered by anyone, including YourBooks staff.
Access Control and Accountability
- Role-based access control (RBAC): every user sees only the modules and data they’re authorized for, configurable down to the navigation level.
- Multi-level approval workflows: sales and purchase transactions can require configurable, role-based approval before they’re committed, reducing the risk of unauthorized transactions.
- Complete audit trail: every create, update, delete, approval, and rejection is logged with timestamps and old/new value comparisons — giving you full accountability and audit readiness.
Security You Don’t Have to Think About
You shouldn’t have to be a security expert to trust your accounting software. YourBooks combines India-based data residency, encryption, strict access controls, and a complete audit trail so your financial data stays protected — without adding extra work for you.
