Honesty line. These certifications are held by the platform revenu is built on, not by revenu itself. revenu relies on those audited controls and adds its own rules on top. For due diligence, Adam can request the SIG Lite questionnaire or the audit summary from the platform.

- Privacy Act and the thirteen APPsThe Australian Privacy Principles set how personal information is collected, used, kept and secured. APP 11 is the one regulators test first: reasonable steps to protect it. Everything on this page is what reasonable looks like.
- Notifiable Data Breaches schemeIf a breach is likely to cause serious harm, the affected people and the OAIC must be told. Assessment inside 30 days, notification as soon as practicable. revenu's rule is simpler: you hear from Adam the day he knows.
- Penalties, and a new way to be suedSerious or repeated breaches carry penalties up to $50 million, three times the benefit, or 30 percent of turnover. Since 2025 an individual can also sue directly for a serious invasion of privacy. The exposure is no longer theoretical for a small business.
- The $3 million exemptionMost businesses under $3 million turnover are still exempt from the Privacy Act, with exceptions (health providers among them). Government has said it intends to narrow it. revenu runs every account as if it already has, so nothing changes for you when it does.
- Ransomware payment reportingUnder the Cyber Security Act, businesses over $3 million turnover must report a ransomware payment within 72 hours. The better position is never being the business that has to.
- Spam Act, email and SMSConsent, identify the sender, working unsubscribe. The platform enforces all three on every campaign and every automated text, so a workflow cannot send what the law would not allow.
- Sending on your own domainEmail goes out authenticated under your domain with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, set up at onboarding. It is what keeps you out of spam folders and stops someone else sending as you.
- Essential Eight, mappedThe ACSC's eight baseline controls. The platform covers four for your account: multi-factor sign in, patched applications, patched infrastructure, regular backups. Admin access is restricted by role. The remaining three sit on your own computers, and Adam will tell you plainly where you stand.
Technical controls
how the data is actually protected
- 01EncryptionTLS 1.2 or better for everything in transit. AES-256 for everything at rest. Passwords hashed, never stored as typed.
- 02Access controlRoles decide what each person sees. Two-factor sign in can be enforced across the whole account. Single sign-on if you run it.
- 03InfrastructureHosted on Google Cloud. Web application firewall and DDoS mitigation in front, hardened images and automated patching behind.
- 04MonitoringContinuous logging and alerting on anomalies, error rates and attack patterns. Throttling and shutdowns kick in at set thresholds.
- 05Backups and recoveryEncrypted backups on a schedule. A recycle bin brings back deleted contacts, deals, fields, tags and notes for thirty days. Pages keep version history.
- 06Application securityCode review, static and dynamic analysis, gated deployments. Regular third-party penetration testing, automated vulnerability scanning and a responsible disclosure programme.
The year AI learned to find the holes
the same tool that finds the flaw is now on your side.
In April 2026 an AI model in security testing found flaws in every major operating system and browser, including one in a firewall operating system that had sat unnoticed for 27 years. Its maker kept it out of public hands and gave it to the companies that run the internet's plumbing so they could patch first.
What that means for a service business is plain. Finding a weakness used to take a rare specialist and weeks. It is becoming automatic. The gap between businesses on maintained, audited platforms and businesses on a forgotten website with six old plugins is about to get much wider.
revenu's answer is not a new product. It is the boring stuff, done for you: a platform that is patched and tested by people whose job it is, two-factor sign in enforced, nothing of yours sitting on an unmaintained server, and an AI receptionist that runs inside those same walls.
Reporting: The Conversation, April 2026
- 01Install updates the week they land. The platform does this for your account.
- 02Two-factor sign in on everything, enforced, not optional.
- 03A password manager for the team. One shared spreadsheet of logins is the leak.
- 04Retire devices and software the maker no longer patches.
- 05Know where every customer record lives. If it is in four tools, it is in four places to lose.
AI and your data
what the agents can and cannot do
- What the agents can seeYour agents work inside your account only: your contacts, your calendar, your knowledge base. Nothing from another client, ever.
- Your data is not training dataThe model providers under the agents run on business terms. Your conversations are used to answer, not to train public models.
- Support that asks firstWhen you report a problem, Charlie can offer to look inside your account. He only looks after you say yes, or after Adam passes your issue on, and only for an email address with a login on that account. He shares only what that login can already see, and passes anything that looks like a security risk to Adam. He reads, never changes or exports anything, and notes what he checked on your record.
- Every reply is on the recordEach AI message sits in the same inbox thread as a human one. You can read it, correct it, or take the conversation over mid-sentence.
- He knows what he doesn't knowThe agents are told what they may say and when to hand to a person. A question outside the lines gets a human, not a guess.
Behind the scenes
the controls you can't see but should know about
- Support access is just in timeWhen platform support needs to look at an account, they request time-limited access. Every request is logged and expires on its own.
- What support can never doEven with access, support cannot change domain or sign-in settings, export your contacts or users, see or create API keys, import data, or delete contacts and deals. Those stay with you.
- People, not just systemsPlatform staff pass background checks before they start and do security training on a schedule. Company laptops are managed and fully encrypted.
- Everything is loggedSign-ins, staff access, security events and content changes are logged and kept for investigation. A small group of engineers can read the logs, nobody else.
- How cards are actually handledSave a card and the number goes to Stripe. The platform gets back a token and charges that token. The raw number never sits in the database, which is why the certified part is Stripe's and the workflow part is the platform's.
- Your keys, held by youThe account is in your business's name. Adam is a user you can remove in two clicks. Your contacts, content and numbers leave with you if you ever go.
I never
- touch or store your platform passwords
- open a client account without being invited
- resell, share or analyse your customer data
- send marketing to your contacts on your behalf
- keep your data after you leave, beyond what the law requires
I always
- build with you on screen during onboarding
- use Australian data residency where the platform offers it
- leave two-factor sign in enforced on every account I hand over
- tell you first if anything goes wrong
- hand you the keys and keep a copy of nothing
Questions
- Does revenu hold its own SOC 2 certificate?No. The certifications on this page belong to the platform revenu builds on. revenu relies on those audited controls and adds its own operating rules on top: your keys, no shared data, Australian privacy obligations. If your IT person or accountant needs the documents, Adam can request the SIG Lite questionnaire or the audit summary from the platform.
- Where is my data stored?On Google Cloud, in the platform's infrastructure, with encrypted backups. Australian data residency is used where the platform offers it. Email us for the current region list before you sign if residency is a condition for you.
- Can Adam see my customers?Yes, while he is a user on your account, because he builds in it. He never exports, shares, analyses or markets to them, and you can remove his access at any time. That rule is in the terms.
- What happens if there is a breach?You hear from Adam as soon as he knows, with what happened, what was touched and what to do. revenu helps you meet the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme if it applies. No waiting for a quarterly report.
- Is my customer data kept in Australia?The platform is hosted on Google Cloud and uses Australian data residency where it is offered. Some services, like email delivery and the AI models, run through providers outside Australia under business terms and the Data Privacy Framework. If residency is a hard requirement for your business, tell Adam before you sign and he will show you the current region list rather than guess.
- Does the Privacy Act even apply to me under $3 million?Possibly not yet, unless you are a health provider or trade in personal information. It is being narrowed, and your customers do not read the exemption. revenu runs every account to the Privacy Principles regardless, so you are covered either way.
- Is an AI receptionist a security risk?Less than a shared inbox password. The agents run inside the same audited platform, only see your account, log every message, and hand over to a person when a question is outside what they were told to answer. The bigger risk in 2026 is the forgotten website on an unpatched server next door.
