PrimePay’s Best in Class Security Aims to Reduce Growing Risk of Cybersecurity Threats to Sensitive Customer Data 

According to IBM’s 2023 data breach report, breaches affecting sensitive business and personal information are increasing in both velocity and cost. As a leading HR, Payroll and Benefits Administration SaaS company, the privacy and security of our clients’ confidential information is at the forefront of our work. PrimePay continues to substantially invest in security, technology, and experienced resources to protect the data and personal information belonging to our clients and their employees. 

We welcome questions from our clients or prospective clients who have concerns regarding how PrimePay’s Cybersecurity and Data Protection Policies and Procedures safeguard their information. In order to educate our staff internally to best capitalize on opportunities to highlight our best-in-class security posture, we wish for our teams to be armed with the latest information of data protection PrimePay provides that go “above and beyond” the typical “check the box” mentality. You may refer to our IT Security blog here or the bullet points below:
