Trust & Security

How we protect your data — and how you can verify us.

We do not display badges or certifications we have not earned. Instead, this page sets out exactly what we do, so you can judge for yourself.

Security practices

Plainly stated, with nothing overclaimed.

Encryption in transit and at rest
The site and our client channels are served over HTTPS/TLS, and documents you send us are stored encrypted at rest by our hosting and storage providers.
Access control
Client files are accessible only to the advisers working on your engagement, on individual accounts with two-factor authentication enabled.
Secure hosting
We rely on established UK/EU cloud infrastructure providers rather than self-managed servers, and we do not store payment card data — card payments are processed directly by Stripe.
Backups and deletion
Records are backed up regularly. AML records are kept for five years after our relationship ends, as UK law requires; other documents are deleted on request or once no longer needed.
Incident response
If a data incident affected your information, we would investigate, contain it, notify affected clients, and report to the ICO where the law requires it.

Regulatory position

The rules we work under, in plain English.

Companies House
Companies House is the UK registrar of companies. Every incorporation we prepare is filed into that official framework, and your company record is publicly verifiable once registered.
Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA)
ECCTA introduced stricter identity-verification and transparency duties for UK companies, their directors and people with significant control. We prepare every engagement to meet these requirements as they apply to you.
Who prepares and files your company
Seven Oak Prestige prepares and submits your incorporation to Companies House. Your matter stays with one named adviser — there is no hand-off to an anonymous intermediary — and every filing is made in line with Companies House requirements.
Anti-money laundering (AML)
UK AML rules require us to identify and verify every client and beneficial owner before a company is formed. This protects you as much as it protects the register — it is the reason we cannot skip document checks.

Identity verification

How we verify your identity.

  1. 01

    You submit your documents

    A valid passport or national ID, plus your residential address details.

  2. 02

    Onfido or Credas verifies them

    We use our KYC and AML verification partners, Onfido and Credas, to check the document and match it to you. Which partner is used depends on your document type and country.

  3. 03

    Verification is recorded for your filing

    We use the verified result for the Companies House filing we prepare on your behalf, and keep it in our AML records.

Privacy & data protection

Your data is used for your filing — nothing else.

Seven Oak Prestige Ltd is the data controller for the information you give us and is registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office as a data controller; our registration reference is available on request. We process personal data under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We do not sell your data and we do not use it for third-party marketing.
