More Than Compliance, An Act of Security with DespaQ

DespaQ: Addressing Your E-Invoicing Security Concerns Head-On

The Malaysian landscape is on the cusp of a significant transformation with the upcoming LHDN e-invoicing mandate. While e-invoicing offers undeniable benefits, businesses rightfully prioritise data security. Let's face it, e-invoicing involves sensitive financial information, and navigating data security can feel overwhelming. You might be asking yourself:

Is my data safe during transfer and at rest within the platform?

Does DespaQ adhere to data privacy regulations?

Who has access to my data, and can I control it?

Is my data protected in case of an outage or breach?

Are DespaQ employees trained to handle data securely?

Are integrations with other platforms secure?

Does DespaQ undergo independent security audits?

Is DespaQ committed to ongoing security improvements?

These are all valid concerns, and at DespaQ, we understand your concern. The truth is you might not even be aware of all the potential security risks waiting out there. That's where DespaQ comes in, not just as an e-invoicing solution provider, but as a trusted partner dedicated to safeguarding your data.

DespaQ: Built on an Anchor of Rigid Security

Data security isn't an afterthought for DespaQ; it's the very foundation upon which our platform is built. We recognize the immense sensitivity of e-invoicing data, which is why we've achieved the prestigious ISO 27001:2022 certification. This isn't just a symbol of achievement; it's a testament to our rigorous information security management system (ISMS) that adheres to the latest international standards. Let's delve deeper into how we address your specific concerns:

What Does ISO 27001:2022 Mean for You?

This cutting-edge ISO standard signifies that DespaQ goes above and beyond to ensure your data is protected at every stage of the e-invoicing journey. It translates to a comprehensive set of policies, procedures, and controls designed to safeguard your information with the utmost care:

AWS offers a robust security posture with a vast array of features and services that further enhance the security of your data within the DespaQ platform. These features include intrusion detection and prevention systems, regular security assessments, and a global network of data centers with physical security measure.
• Proactive Threat Management: We understand that the cyber threat landscape is constantly evolving. That's why DespaQ employs a proactive approach to threat management. We continuously monitor our systems for potential vulnerabilities and implement security patches as soon as they become available. Additionally, we conduct regular penetration testing to identify and address any potential weaknesses in our security posture.
• Rigorous Process Controls: We implement rigorous process controls throughout the entire e-invoicing lifecycle. This includes robust access management procedures, data encryption practices, and regular data backups to ensure data recovery in case of any unforeseen events. These controls are documented and regularly reviewed to maintain their effectiveness.
• Employee Training and Awareness: We believe that our employees are our first line of defense against security threats. That's why we provide comprehensive security awareness training to all our staff members.
