Frequently asked questions and mobile payroll apps
Is a payroll software app right for my UK business?

Are online payroll apps secure?
It’s crucial that the payroll app you choose for your business is secure. It’s critical for employee privacy and confidentiality. It’s also important to prevent fraud and keep businesses compliant with regulations.
A cloud payroll app must have the highest levels of security to prevent disruptions and protect the organisation’s reputation. Robust, secure backup and disaster recovery plans need to be in place. Any payroll solution you consider should be ISO27001 certified, giving you the confidence that your payroll provider takes data security very seriously.
