Compliance & Certifications

HMRC Recognised & 2026 Ready

We are fully accredited by HMRC for PAYE, RTI, and Pension Auto-Enrolment. But we’re also looking ahead.

  • The 2026 RTI Update: HMRC has introduced stricter reporting for employee hours and leave starting 6th April 2026. AcadaFix is built to handle these granular data requirements.
  • Automated Submissions: One-click Full Payment Submissions (FPS) and Employer Payment Summary (EPS) directly to HMRC.

Hosted Environment ISO 27001: Bank-Grade Information Security

This certification ensures that your sensitive payroll data, from National Insurance numbers to bank details, is protected by a rigorous Information Security Management System (ISMS).

  • Zero-Trust Architecture: We assume no-one is safe until they’ve passed our strict multi-factor authentication (MFA).
  • Continuous Monitoring: We don't just audit once a year; our systems are monitored 24/7 for potential threats.

Hosted Environment ISO 9001: Precision & Quality Management

In Payroll a 1% error is a 100% problem for the affected employee. ISO 9001 certification means our internal software development follows a "Quality First" framework.

  • Bug-Free Paydays: Rigorous regression testing before every software update.
  • Reliable Support: Standardised service levels so you always know when and how you’ll get help.

As a UK Government-backed scheme, Cyber Essentials proves that AcadaFix has the technical controls to repel common cyber-attacks.

  • Secured Perimeters: Firewalls and internet gateways that act as a digital fortress.
  • Patch Management: We stay ahead of hackers by keeping all systems updated with the latest security patches within 14 days of release.

GDPR: Privacy Without Compromise

Under UK GDPR, payroll data is considered “Highly Sensitive.” AcadaFix is built with "Privacy by Design,” acting as your expert Data Processor.

  • No More Emailing Payslips: Our secure Employee Self-Service (ESS) portal eliminates the need for insecure attachments, keeping you compliant with data privacy laws.
  • Right to Erasure: Automated data retention policies that help you purge old data in line with statutory requirements.
