Company-controlled computers
Work is carried out on company-controlled devices for the defined engagement.
Practical safeguards
Security and data handling for managed offshore support
The right controls depend on your workflow, systems and obligations. We use practical safeguards and agree access boundaries with each client; your organisation remains responsible for its own compliance assessment and approvals.
VPN and restricted access
Access can be restricted to the systems, client entities and information needed for the role.
Role-based access
Permissions are designed around the assigned task and can be removed during offboarding.
Screening and agreements
Background checks and confidentiality agreements form part of the staffing process.
A controlled onboarding checklist
- Define the task, source information, authorised system and named reviewer.
- Apply least-privilege access and separate routine work from decisions requiring professional judgement.
- Use an exception list so unclear, unusual or sensitive items return to the client.
- Review access when the role changes and revoke it promptly when the work ends.
- Do not share confidential client records in the website enquiry form.
RemoteSkills does not claim that a particular setup automatically makes a client GDPR-compliant. Accountancy practices and law firms should assess their own regulatory, contractual and professional obligations before granting access.
