STAY SECURE

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We Have Answered Many Commonly Asked Questions Below

The role of IT in accounting is not just about having the right software – it’s about integrating technology into every aspect of your work to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and security.

IT systems help streamline processes like data entry, financial reporting, and client management, saving you time and reducing the risk of errors. With the right IT support, you can automate routine tasks, ensure compliance with regulations, and protect your clients’ data from cyber threats.

Accountants use IT to quickly generate detailed financial reports, perform complex calculations, and ensure compliance with the latest regulations. They also use IT for secure communication with clients, sharing sensitive documents safely and efficiently.

First and foremost, powerful accounting firm software is a must, offering features for bookkeeping, financial reporting, and tax preparation. Cloud storage solutions are essential too, providing secure, remote access to financial data anytime, anywhere.

Cybersecurity tools are crucial for protecting sensitive client information from cyber threats. Additionally, accountants benefit from advanced data analytics tools that help in making informed financial decisions and identifying trends.

Accountants need to be proficient in a range of software to stay effective and competitive. At the top of the list is accounting software like QuickBooks, Xero, and Sage, which handle everything from bookkeeping to tax preparation. These tools simplify financial management and reporting, making it easier to stay organised and compliant.

Spreadsheet software, especially Microsoft Excel, is another essential. Excel is invaluable for data analysis, budgeting, and creating detailed financial reports.

Accountants should also be familiar with customer relationship management (CRM) software to manage client interactions and document management systems for secure file storage and sharing.

For accountants, having computer skills not only streamlines your workflow but also enhances your ability to provide top-quality service to clients. It’s a key component of being a successful accountant in the modern world.
