IT Support for Protecting Your Clients Financial Data
We know that any breach can have serious repercussions, not just for your clients, but for the reputation of your accountancy practice as well.
Our cyber security services are designed to tackle these issues head-on. With our expertise, we’ll ensure your systems are always up-to-date, secure, and ready to respond to any potential vulnerabilities. By partnering with us, you’re not just investing in IT support; you’re investing in the trust and confidence of your clients.
Our Approach to Data Security for Accounting Firms
We don’t wait for attacks to happen. Our team use ‘threat hunting’ to actively search for any signs of incoming cyber attacks and respond to them instantly. Working alongside AI systems of the highest quality, your outsourced team monitor your systems round the clock.
Whilst your email systems filter out some malicious emails, you might notice that they leave others in. These types of emails tend to trick filters and other methods of cyber security protection by being highly personalised. We use an advanced AI engine that learns your team’s communication patterns and identifies any unusual emails before they even reach your employee.
Meanwhile, our identity authentication stops bad-actors from getting anywhere close to your email systems in the first place.
We can also monitor mobile devices for threats and make sure that any employees working remotely have secure access to your system.
Ongoing Training For Your Employees
We want your employees to feel confident and prepared to tackle any real-life cyber attacks. The best way to achieve this is through regular, consistent training.
We provide bite-sized cyber security training lessons, so your team can easily complete them alongside their work. These are complete with simulated phishing attacks to test your employees’ level of awareness, which we then use to create personalised training based on the results to make sure everyone is kept up-to-date.
Ensuring Your Compliance in the Accounting Industry
Compliance with the Data Protection Act is non-negotiable when handling sensitive financial information. We assist you in navigating this, ensuring that your data handling practices are fully compliant.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has set a high bar for data privacy and security as well. From securing client consent to implementing stringent data protection protocols, we help you meet GDPR standards, thereby avoiding hefty fines and building trust with your clients.
Cyber Security Certifications
Achieving the Cyber Essentials Plus certification demonstrates your commitment to cyber security. It’s a government-backed scheme that protects your organisation from a wide range of cyber threats.
Our IT support team guides you through the certification process, ensuring that your IT infrastructure meets the necessary standards and that you’re well-protected against cyber attacks.

Next, we identify potential risks like power outages, cyber-attacks, and system failures. Understanding these threats allows us to create a plan that addresses your specific vulnerabilities.
Using insights from the BIA and our own risk assessments, we create a detailed recovery plan. This includes strategies for both cloud-based and traditional recovery methods, roles and responsibilities, and all necessary resources.
