A Profit Optimization Audit means handing us job costing, labor, and billing exports from your business. That's sensitive information. Here is exactly how we handle it — and what we will never do with it.
Every audit runs on a small set of CSV exports. We don't need access to your systems, we don't need logins, and we don't need anything about your employees as individuals.
"Are you putting my bids, my pricing, and my job costs into ChatGPT?" It's the right question. Here's the straight answer.
Not to lead brokers, not to data aggregators, not to anyone. Your operational data has exactly one purpose here: producing your audit report.
Analysis is performed on the data you send, and we limit what is transmitted to outside services to what the work genuinely requires. Where sensitive client data is involved, we use business-tier AI services configured so that customer content is not used to train the provider's models.
We don't pool client data, we don't benchmark one client against another using their identifiable information, and we don't reuse your files to build tools we sell to other companies.
We're a small, focused firm — not an enterprise software vendor. Rather than list certifications we don't hold, here's what is actually in place.
MFA is enabled on the accounts used to receive, store, and analyze client data.
Client files are transmitted over encrypted connections and held in encrypted storage environments.
Client data is accessed only by personnel directly performing your engagement. There is no broad internal access.
Raw client data files are permanently deleted within 14 calendar days after your report is delivered. This is a contractual commitment, not a policy preference.
Mutual confidentiality obligations are part of every engagement agreement before any data changes hands.
Skilled Edge Group LLC is a Virginia limited liability company. Your engagement is governed by Virginia law.
Plenty of firms decorate a page like this with compliance logos that don't apply to them. We'd rather tell you where we actually stand.
If you have a security requirement, a vendor questionnaire, or you just want to know exactly what happens to a file after you send it — ask before you sign, not after.
