How CAISE protects payroll, HR and finance data in CAISE HR and CAISE Spend: access control, two-step sign-in, approvals and audit trails.
Who can see what
- Role-based access in both products: payroll, HR, finance, approver and self-service roles, plus custom roles with exactly the permissions you choose.
- Self-service staff see only their own payslips, leave, documents and requests.
- Each organisation's data is kept separate; every request is checked against the signed-in person's organisation.
Signing in
- Two-step sign-in with an authenticator app, with one-time recovery codes.
- Sign in with Google or Microsoft for organisations that use them; only people already invited can use it.
- Accounts lock for a while after repeated failed sign-ins; sessions can be reviewed and ended from Security settings.
- Passwords are stored only as salted hashes.
Checks on money
- Maker-checker approval on pay runs: the person who submits a run cannot approve it.
- Separation of duties on bills, purchase requests and expenses: no one approves their own.
- Approvals can only be decided once, even when two people act at the same time.
- Bank files are released only after approval, and payments are reconciled item by item.
A record of everything
- Audit logs of sign-ins, approvals, payments, exports and setting changes, visible to your admins.
- CAISE support sees only plan and usage counts unless your admin grants time-limited access, and every look is recorded in your audit log.
- Spreadsheet exports neutralise formulas so a downloaded file cannot run code.
Files and uploads
- Receipts and documents are checked by their content, not their name, and served only to people allowed to see them.
- Duplicate receipts are flagged to stop the same claim being paid twice.
