Data Security and Privacy

Your data security is paramount to us. By granting DualEntry access, you’re creating a secure, encrypted link between your Xero organisation and DualEntry. We use AES encryption for both data at rest and in transit, and we follow SOC2 compliance protocols to ensure the highest level of security.

No third parties have access to your data, and no changes will be made to your Xero data during the migration process.

Once you’ve granted access to DualEntry, the migration process will begin in the background.

Within 48 hours:

  • DualEntry will securely sync all your data and historical records and attachments

  • You will receive a confirmation email as soon as the data migration is complete.

  • Your DualEntry CPA will contact you via email to schedule the remaining setup steps, including:
