Security
Built for a profession that runs on trust
Your clients trust you with their money and their details. Here is exactly how Stow keeps that data safe, and where it lives.
The problem
What gets in the way today
Client data in too many places
Details spread across email, shared drives and AI tools are hard to protect and harder to account for.
No record of who saw what
When a client asks who accessed their information, most practices can't answer quickly.
Offshore by default
Many tools store data overseas, which complicates what you tell clients about where it lives.
How Stow handles it
Security that comes switched on
None of this is an add-on or a setting to remember. Every firm on Stow gets all of it from the first day.
- Two-factor from day one. Every adviser signs in with two-factor authentication from the moment the firm is set up.
- Biometric client sign-in. Clients unlock the app with Face ID or a fingerprint.
- Every action recorded. The portal keeps a full audit trail of who viewed or changed what.
