When systems go down during busy season, every hour costs thousands in missed filings, penalties, and client trust. You need guaranteed uptime when it matters most.
Reduce premiums and ensure coverage by meeting insurer requirements with documented security controls and incident response capabilities.
IRS Publication 4557, WISP requirements, and state-specific data protection laws create a maze of compliance obligations most MSPs can’t navigate.
Staff need access to dozens of client environments without cross-contamination. Managing permissions across QuickBooks, tax software, and portals is a security nightmare.
You’re required to retain client records for 7+ years. Without proper backup, archiving, and disaster recovery, you’re one hardware failure from losing irreplaceable data.
CPAs working from home during busy season need secure access to client files without exposing sensitive data on personal networks or devices.
Every solution is tailored to the unique workflows, compliance requirements, and seasonal demands of financial services.
Written Information Security Plan implementation that satisfies IRS Publication 4557, FTC Safeguards Rule, and state requirements — with documentation your auditors will love.
Elastic cloud resources that scale up during busy season and scale down after — so you never pay for capacity you don't need, but always have it when you do.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure lets CPAs work from anywhere while keeping all client data in your secure environment — nothing stored on personal laptops.
Advanced email filtering, DMARC/SPF/DKIM configuration, and employee phishing simulation training to stop social engineering attacks before they start.
Encrypted, redundant backups with automated retention policies that meet IRS record-keeping requirements — tested quarterly to guarantee recoverability.
Expert support for QuickBooks, Lacerte, ProSeries, Drake, UltraTax, CCH Axcess, and other accounting platforms — so your tools always work when you need them.
