Join thousands who trust us with their taxes and their data.
Why Microsoft Azure?
Microsoft Azure offers a highly secure, scalable, and globally recognized cloud infrastructure. It’s the same platform trusted by leading banks, healthcare providers, and government agencies—backed by more than 100 compliance certifications worldwide, including ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 1/2/3, and GDPR compliance.
Key Benefits for You:
🔒 Advanced Encryption
All your documents are protected using 256-bit AES encryption in transit and at rest—meeting or exceeding industry standards.
🌐 Global Data Redundancy
Your files are securely stored across multiple geographically distributed data centers, ensuring availability and business continuity even in extreme scenarios.
🤝 Zero Trust Architecture
Azure operates on a “zero trust” security model, meaning every access attempt is verified and monitored. This keeps your sensitive information safe from unauthorized access.
🔢 Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Our team uses MFA and role-based access controls to ensure that only authorized professionals can access your documents.
📈 Scalable and Future-Ready
Azure’s infrastructure allows us to scale securely with demand, and quickly integrate new security features as they are released by Microsoft.
👉 What This Means for You
Whether you’re uploading tax documents, communicating with our team, or reviewing your completed returns, you can be confident your data is protected by enterprise-grade cloud security—the same technology trusted by Fortune 500 companies.
Data Storage
Working with your data. When our EAs, CPAs and their support teams are working with your confidential information all the work that is conducted is done within the industry leading security software.
💻 Secure log in
Admins have the authority to manage permissions and define user access to features and files. Secure user logins, audit trails, and storage mechanisms are utilized to protect practice and client information.
🛡️ Military grade encryption
To ensure peace of mind, CCH employs the strongest available 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard, comparable to military-grade encryption. Additionally, we implement security protocols similar to those used by internet banks, indicated by the secure https website address and familiar closed padlock icon.
🔏 Document locking
Viewing checked-out documents is possible, but editing is restricted to prevent conflicting changes.
E-filing to the IRS
When your tax return is prepared for filing, it is securely transported between CCH and the IRS, with the connection fully encrypted from start to finish.
We’re PCI compliant, so your payments and data are safe.
