01 / Definition
What is Data security and governance at OSForBiz?

OSForBiz builds the operating system a UAE business runs on, and protects the data inside it. Electronic invoice transmissions are encrypted with TLS 1.2 or higher and processed through certified Peppol Access Points. Tax records are retained for a minimum of 5 years in line with UAE Federal Tax Authority requirements, then securely deleted or anonymized. Access is role based, the system keeps audit logs, and we run regular security audits. Because the backbone is open source, you own your data and your configuration outright, with no vendor lock in.

Encryption and transmission

All electronic invoice transmissions are encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher and processed through certified Peppol Access Points. Data in transit is protected with SSL encryption.

Invoice transmissions, delivery receipts, and processing status are recorded for audit purposes, so every document has a traceable history.

Data ownership and residency

The systems we build run on open source. That means you own your data and your configuration outright, you can export everything at any time, and you are never locked into a vendor or a proprietary format.

Where data residency matters, the system can be self hosted on infrastructure you control. The choice of where the data lives is yours, not ours.

Access, retention, and audits

Access is role based, so people see only the part of the business they should. The system keeps action logs so changes are traceable to a user, a time, and a before and after value.

Tax records are retained for a minimum of 5 years in line with UAE Federal Tax Authority requirements, and securely deleted or anonymized after the retention period. We run regular security audits across the deployment.

We carry 0 data breaches across more than 50 UAE implementations.

Prove it on your own data, free

The fastest way to trust a system is to see it run on your numbers. OSForBiz will build one live dashboard on your real data, at no cost, so the people who have to approve the project can see exactly what they are approving.

No commitment, no licence, no surprise invoice. If it does not earn the next conversation, you owe nothing.
