We hope to be handling your accounts payable after all.<\/p>\r\n<p>Whatever questions you\u2019ve got about Zahara software and accounts payable security, we aim to answer them here. We\u2019ve penned out a few details on Zahara\u2019s security aspects, then jumped right into the questions we get asked most.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"zahara_software_features\"><\/span>Zahara Software features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"zahara_is_cyber_essentials_plus_certified\"><\/span>Zahara is Cyber Essentials Plus certified<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>That\u2019s right. We\u2019re certified by the UK National Cyber Security Centre. That means they\u2019ve gone through our systems checking for weak points and vulnerabilities, and given Zahara software the security all clear.<\/p>\r\n<p>This certification is the gold standard for British cyber security.<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"hosted_on_microsoft_azure\"><\/span>Hosted on Microsoft Azure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>Zahara is hosted on Microsoft Azure. We chose to host on Azure for its robust security. Microsoft invests over $1 billion annually in cybersecurity research and has a cybersecurity team bigger than most companies.<\/p>\r\n<p>Azure is security certified with a host of cyber security compliance standards. It boasts multi-layered security and top-end threat detection.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Doing so gives us:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Data encryption (more on that below)<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Distributed data networks<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Regular backups of information<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"audit_trails\"><\/span>Audit trails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>Zahara will add granular audit trails to your business software. These audit trails will show you just how much money has been spent on any given transaction, who authorised the spend, where the money went and much more.<\/p>\r\n<p>If a mysterious employee is having a bit too much fun with company money, Zahara\u2019s audit trails will make it much easier to figure out who that mystery employee is.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"encryption\"><\/span>Encryption<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>As we mentioned above, hosting on Microsoft Azure means that all data stored by Zahara (i.e. your data) is encrypted. What\u2019s more, your data will be encrypted at rest <em>and<\/em> when in transit, making it near impossible for outside sources to read \u2013 if they could even get their hands on it in the first place\u2026<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"robust_controls\"><\/span>Robust controls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>Our software also adds spend controls so you can better manage who has the power to spend company money. This is one of the key benefits of automating your accounts payable department. With the old ways retired, only people you appoint will have the power to spend money, which greatly reduces the chance of fraud.<\/p>\r\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"preventing_fraud_with_automation\"><\/span>Preventing fraud with automation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n<p>Zahara\u2019s invoice processing software will aid fraud prevention too. It does this by using three-way matching, a process where AI reads invoices and checks them against goods received notes and purchase orders to make sure nothing suspect is going on. If some cheeky scammer thinks they can submit false invoices and get you to pay for them, Zahara software will spot it.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Download our Fraud Guide here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaharasoftware.com\/download\/CombatingFraud.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fraud Guide PDF<\/a><\/p>\r\n<style>\r\n\t.testbox {\r\n    border-radius: 11.725px;\r\n    background: linear-gradient(89deg, #FF5C00 0.96%, #FFB800 113.64%);\r\n    box-shadow: 2.198px 2.931px 7.548px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.10);\r\n    display: flex;\r\n    padding: 11px 14px;\r\n    color: #fff;\r\n    align-items: center;\r\n    justify-content: center;\r\n}\r\n\t.ft18 {\r\n\t\tfont-size:18px!important;\r\n\t\tfont-weight: 400!important;\r\n\t}\r\n<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"testbox ft18 mt60 mb60\"><h2 class=\"pl10 pr20 mt10 mr20 fw300 ft18 text-center text-white\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"looks_like_youve_covered_a_lot_of_info_were_here_to_answer_any_questions_you_might_have\"><\/span>Looks like you&#8217;ve covered a lot of info.

You\u2019ll want proof. We\u2019ve added some in-depth case studies below so you can hear how our customers feel about security at Zahara.<\/p>\r\n<p>We also like to think our good reputation in the wider business world reflects our dependability when it comes to AP automation security. If you want proof of that reputation you can find it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaharasoftware.com\/our-customers\/\">here<\/a>, on a page of testimonials from our many contented customers.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_strong_is_zaharas_security\"><\/span>How strong is Zahara\u2019s security?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>It\u2019s strong. We probably don\u2019t need to mention that <a href=\"https:\/\/iasme.co.uk\/cyber-essentials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cyber Essentials Plus certification<\/a> again (but we will for anyone who\u2019s jumped to this section). On top of that, being hosted on Microsoft Azure gives you all the robust security the platform is known for.<\/p>\r\n<p>We\u2019ll get more into backups below, but they occur every 15 minutes. All information stored on Zahara databases is encrypted at rest, and in transit.<\/p>\r\n<p>As for password security, Zahara\u2019s secure AP software solution has higher-than-average requirements for password complexity, and uses two-factor authentication for an added layer of security.<\/p>\r\n<p>We also have external tests conducted on our software every year to ensure that it remains reliable. These tests are done by a third party to ensure impartiality, and the results of the annual test (if there are any) will be acted upon by our developers.<\/p>\r\n<p>To put it simply, when it comes to security we\u2019re as good as we can be.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are_there_any_backups_and_are_they_safe\"><\/span>Are there any backups and are they safe?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>Yes, hosting on Azure gives Zahara the ability to back up every fifteen minutes. All data stored in Zahara is held in mirrored data centres at different locations in the UK \u2013 if one fails you can still access your data from the other.<\/p>\r\n<p>What\u2019s more, Azure also performs distributed backups so your data is always available.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-2\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can_i_get_my_data_back_if_i_leave_zahara\"><\/span>Can I get my data back if I leave Zahara?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>Yes, of course. We hope you don\u2019t feel the need to, but if you choose to leave Zahara, we will return all your data to you.<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-3\"><\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_is_zaharas_protocol_for_responding_to_cybersecurity_incidents\"><\/span>What is Zahara\u2019s protocol for responding to cybersecurity incidents?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>Action and transparency govern our protocol. If a security threat is detected our team will work around the clock to shut the threat down. Damage would then be assessed and a course of action will be taken to decide how we clean up any damages with user and stakeholder best interests at the fore.<\/p>\r\n<p>After the security incident has been handled, we would make an announcement to ensure that Zahara users are fully informed about the incident, damages and our course of action to set things right.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"a_word_from_zahara\"><\/span>A word from Zahara<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>We hope what you\u2019ve read here will help you put your faith in Zahara.

We picked Azure for its reputation of excellent security. That thinking feeds into everything we do.<\/p>\r\n<p>Alongside our attention to accounts payable security, Zahara can give you benefits in efficiency and cost savings, streamlining what you do in ways that will work wonders on your operations.
