IT support for accounting firms
Your clients trust you with their financial data. We keep it secure and your systems running, all year round.
CISA-led · Secure Microsoft 365 · 24/7 threat monitoring
Why are accounting firms targeted by cyber criminals?
Accounting firms hold exactly what criminals want: identity details, tax file numbers and access to client money. And email is where most attacks start.
One compromised mailbox can be used to send fake invoices, or to change the bank details on real ones. Your clients may not notice until the money is gone.
What are your data security obligations?
Accounting firms handle personal and financial information that's protected under Australian privacy law. A data breach involving tax file numbers can be notifiable under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, whatever the size of your firm.
The ATO also requires multi-factor authentication to access its online services for tax practitioners.
We don't give legal advice. But we can make sure your IT supports the controls you need.
