Security and Compliance

Security and data protection for Canadian businesses.

Northyx is built with CRA-first workflows and a clear roadmap for data residency. We design features with privacy, access control, and auditability in mind.

Data encryption

Encryption in transit with TLS and modern cipher suites. At-rest encryption is planned alongside regional hosting.

Backups

Regular backups with integrity checks and restore procedures tested on a schedule.

Data residency

Canadian data residency is on the roadmap. We prioritize clear communication on where data lives today and what is coming next.

Access control

Keep the right people in the right roles.

Northyx supports the way Canadian businesses collaborate. Assign owners, staff, and accountants with the correct permissions and keep sessions tight.

  • Role-based access

    Owner, staff, and accountant roles with permissions that match how Canadian teams collaborate.

  • Login security

    Email and password authentication with protections against brute force attempts.

  • Session controls

    Short-lived sessions with the ability to revoke access if a device is lost.

Compliance mindset

CRA-first and privacy-aware.

From exports to reporting, we prioritize the data your accountant and the CRA expect, while limiting what is shared unnecessarily.

CRA-friendly workflows

Invoices, expenses, and exports stay aligned with Canadian tax codes and audit trails.

PIPEDA awareness

Product decisions consider data minimization and controlled access to customer data.

Export controls

CSV, Excel, and PDF exports are scoped to the data your accountant needs, reducing unnecessary sharing.

Responsible roadmap

Where we are investing next.

Security and compliance are ongoing practices. Here is what we are prioritizing for Canadian teams that rely on Northyx.

  • Regional hosting options

    Planned Canadian-region hosting for teams that need local data storage.

  • Advanced audit logging

    Deeper logs for access, exports, and approvals to support internal controls.

  • Security certifications

    Evaluating certifications that matter for Canadian SMBs and firms.
