Frequently Asked Questions

Ottimate enables role-based permissions for every user, allowing you to restrict employee access to specific data or actions. Administrators can also integrate SSO or mandate MFA to validate users further and expand access control.

SOC 2 is a voluntary compliance standard for service organizations developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It helps ensure that third-party providers, like Ottimate, store and process customer data in a secure manner and adhere to the SOC 2 Trust principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

Ottimate is SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 certified. SOC 2 Type 1 evaluates whether security and privacy controls are correctly designed at a point in time. Whereas SOC 2 Type 2 evaluates whether the controls are designed and functioning properly over a specified period.
While Ottimate offers internal security controls to help keep your data secure and confidential, there are several steps you can take, as users, to ensure your information is protected:

• Avoid sharing your account credentials, like passwords or pins, with employees or external parties
• Create an account password that is strong, long, and difficult for someone else to guess
• Review your AP workflow regularly for inconsistencies
• Ensure all of your systems, web browsers, and anti-virus software products are up to date
• Follow all company security protocols and information security procedures
