Outsourcing shouldn’t mean losing control of your data.
More than a password and a promise. Only the dedicated team on your account can see your data, every access is logged and identifiable data is anonymized before any AI-assisted step. A person reviews every output before it reaches you.
How GSC protects financial and accounting data
Only the dedicated team assigned to your account can see your data. Access is role-based, provisioned during setup and logged for the life of the engagement. It is never open to the wider GSC team. That applies whether your books sit in QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite or Sage.
Data handlingClient work happens inside access-controlled environments, not on personal devices or ad hoc setups. Where a workflow uses AI assistance, identifiable data is anonymized first and an experienced accountant reviews every output before it is delivered. The tools and platforms behind that workflow are described on our finance and accounting technology page.
GSC Outsourcing, founded in 2020, provides AI-augmented finance and accounting outsourcing and builds dedicated finance teams, with a dedicated team on every account.
Where it appliesThe same controls cover every engagement: client accounting services, US tax compliance, CFO and financial planning, audit support and accounting advisory.
The security practices every engagement runs under
ISO 27001 Certified
GSC holds ISO 27001 certification, covering how we manage, store and handle client data end to end.
GDPR Compliant
Data handling practices align with GDPR principles, whether your team or your clients sit inside the EU or not.
Role-Based, Logged Access
Access to your systems and data is role-based and logged: only the people actually working on your account can reach it.
Secure Environments
Client work is done inside access-controlled environments rather than on personal devices or ad hoc setups, so access can be provisioned to specific people and logged in one place.
Human-Reviewed AI Workflows
Any AI-assisted workflow anonymizes your data first and every output is checked by a real person before it reaches you.
How sensitive accounting data moves, step by step
Access Is Provisioned
Only the team members on your account get role-based access: provisioned during setup, logged throughout.
Anonymized Before AI
Before any AI-assisted step touches it, identifying data is anonymized.
Reviewed By a Person
An experienced accountant checks every output before it's delivered. No unsupervised AI decisions.
Logged & Retained
Access stays logged for the life of the engagement, inside access-controlled environments.
What GSC is responsible for and what stays with you

Logging that access for the life of the engagement.
Working in access-controlled environments, not on personal devices or ad hoc setups.
Anonymizing identifiable data before any AI-assisted step and having an experienced accountant review every output before delivery.
Background-checking every team member before they join your account.
Closing out cleanly when an engagement ends: your files returned, our access removed and your data deleted from our environments within 30 days, confirmed in writing.
Agreeing during setup which systems and data your GSC team needs to reach.
Granting and removing access to your systems. You stay in control and can remove it at any time.

What is GSC responsible for and what is the client responsible for?
GSC is responsible for limiting and logging access to your dedicated team, working in access-controlled environments, anonymizing data before AI-assisted steps and reviewing every output. You agree during setup which systems and data the engagement needs and can check our controls against your own requirements before signing.
Can we review your security controls before signing?
Yes. Book a call and we’ll walk you through our ISO 27001 and GDPR controls in detail before you commit to anything.
Are your team members background-checked?
Yes. Everyone who works on a client account is background-verified before they join it.
Who controls access to our systems?
You do. You grant access to your dedicated team during setup and can remove it at any time. Every access is logged for the life of the engagement.
What happens to our data when an engagement ends?
We hand back everything that’s yours (workpapers, documentation and process notes), remove our team’s access to your systems and delete your data from our environments within 30 days, unless the law requires a record to be kept longer. We confirm in writing once it’s done.
