Verifyle, a provider of secure messaging, file-sharing, and digital signature solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with the Oregon Association of Tax Consultants (OATC) to offer its members enhanced data security technology.
The collaboration will provide OATC members with Verifyle’s ultra-secure document sharing, messaging, and digital signature capabilities, with implementation scheduled to begin in August 2025. OATC, an Oregon-based IRC Section 501(c)(6) Association, aims to elevate the professionalism, proficiency, and integrity of licensed tax practitioners.
Cathy Johnson, President of OATC, highlighted the increasing concern among members regarding cyber threats. “Our members are more aware than ever of the increasing threat from phishing and other cyber-attacks,” Johnson stated. “Verifyle is a great fit for OATC members because it’s both extremely secure and very simple for both our members and their taxpayer clients to use.”
Jack Smith, CEO of Verifyle, emphasized the critical need for secure communication channels in the current environment of rising data breaches. “In today’s environment where data breaches and cyberattacks are increasingly common, tax and accounting professionals absolutely need a secure channel for sharing sensitive documents and communications with their clients,” Smith commented. “Through our partnership with OATC, we’re able to offer their members that essential peace of mind—knowing that client data remains private and protected at all times. We’re honored that OATC selected Verifyle as their trusted security partner.”
Verifyle’s security is based on its patented Cellucrypt® technology, which differs from many other cloud-storage services by avoiding a single master key for encryption and decryption. Instead, Cellucrypt® employs password-derived keys alongside a public-key system to individually encrypt data objects, providing multiple layers of protection. The platform also offers an optional feature to disable password reset, which further enhances its security posture while maintaining ease of use. Verifyle positions itself as a secure cloud-sharing platform that delivers messaging, document sharing, and digital signatures through a unified interface, designed to improve user productivity and information control.
