What is cloud payroll, and is it safe?
Cloud payroll is payroll software you use through a web browser instead of installing it on one computer. Your data lives on managed servers, updates reach everyone at once, and you can work from the office, home or your accountant's desk. How safe it is depends on how the provider protects access and data.
How SMEPA solves it
Always up to date
New tax rates and Revenue changes are applied centrally, so you are never running last year's rules on an old install.
Protected sign-in
Passwords are hashed with argon2id. Add two-factor authentication with any authenticator app, plus recovery codes. Accounts lock after repeated failures.
Data held in the EU
SMEPA is hosted in the EU. Uploaded files are encrypted by the application before they are stored.
Access you control
Give each person a role, see who did what in the audit log, and review active devices and sign out any you do not recognise.
Frequently asked questions
Is cloud payroll secure enough for employee data?
Employee records are sensitive. SMEPA uses two-factor authentication, role-based permissions, an audit log and encrypted file storage, and hosts data in the EU.
Do I need to install anything?
No. SMEPA runs in your browser and can also be added to a phone or tablet home screen.
Can my accountant or bureau access my payroll?
Yes. Invite them as a user with only the permissions they need.
What happens to my data if I leave?
Your records are yours. Contact the team in Cavan about exporting your data before you close your account.
