Leading the Industry in Client Data Protection

By: Scott E. Plaskett, CFP (CEO, IRONSHIELD Financial Planning)

 

You trust us with your financial plan – and you trust us with your personal information. We take that seriously, which means that means security and protection of your information is paramount at IRONSHIELD. We have recently done a full review of our privacy protection policies and, as a result of new technology available, we  upgraded all of our computers and our server to make sure that all of our clients’ information is even more secure. Our notebook computers now have encrypted hard-drives and a fingerprint scan logon feature. We can even erase our entire hard-drive remotely if we find out that someone has stolen any one of our computers. All of our critical data is now backed up through a highly sophisticated offsite backup service.  Not only are we protected by our ability to get our systems up and running again after a critical equipment failure, but your information is safe.

This kind of security is becoming more important than ever. If you’re running your own business and considering making your computers more secure, or contemplating a technology upgrade, take advantage of a new tax credit to help pay for it. The 2009 Federal Budget announced a temporary 100% Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) rate for computer equipment and systems software. If you purchase equipment or software between January 27, 2009 and February 1, 2011, you’ll be eligible for the credit. For more information, click here. Or give us a call – we’d be happy to share  our research and show you how to improve the safety and security of your systems.
