Accounting & Financial Firm Security & Compliance
Accounting, tax and advisory firms hold exactly the data criminals want, and most have no IT team to protect it. We run the security program the law requires and keep it current all year. Meet the FTC Safeguards Rule and your IRS WISP obligation, reach SOC 2 when clients ask for it, and make wire fraud and ransomware much harder to pull off.
