Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Surf.
Everything you need to know about Surf.
How secure is my data with Surf?
Surf keeps your data safe with SOC 2 Type II–aligned security, AES-256 encryption, and TLS 1.2+ protection. We use RBAC, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and continuous monitoring with intrusion detection to ensure your information stays private and protected.
Who is it built for?
Startups and small businesses that need multi‑state, city‑aware payroll and compliance without learning tax codes or juggling government portals.
How does Surf protect sensitive payroll and tax information?
Surf secures all payroll and tax data with bank-grade encryption, data masking, and daily encrypted backups. Our system runs on AWS with 24/7 monitoring, regular security audits, and an active incident-response plan to keep sensitive employee and tax records safe.
What tasks can the in‑product copilot actually perform?
It can onboard hires, update employee details, initiate and verify filings, digitize and track notices, and surface context‑aware FAQs for faster resolution.
Do you auto‑register state tax accounts as we hire in new states?
Yes, the system automatically registers the business with each state, then applies the proper local and state rules per employee location.
Does Surf handle tax filings?
Yes. Surf calculates, prepares, and files payroll taxes on your behalf — federal, state, local, and year-end forms like W-2s and 1099s.
What does the AI assistant do?
It understands natural language and executes payroll workflows. It's not a chatbot — it actually performs tasks and shows you transparent results.
