CPAs & Accounting

is your client data audit-ready and secure?

We keep accounting firms compliant, secure, and ready for busy season.

You hold the financial keys to every client you serve — which makes your firm a target and your uptime non-negotiable. We protect that data and keep your team productive when it counts most.

90%+Of breaches start with phishing — and finance is a favorite target.
Busy seasonIs the worst possible time for a system to go down. We plan for it.
WISPA written security plan isn't optional — the IRS requires it.

What keeps firm partners up at night

The exposures that turn a trusted advisor into a breach headline.

Client data liability

SSNs, returns, and financials — a breach is a legal, regulatory, and reputational hit at once.

Wire fraud & phishing

Spoofed client emails redirect payments — and finance teams are the prime target.

Busy-season downtime

A system failure in March or April doesn't just cost hours — it costs deadlines.

Compliance gaps

IRS and FTC rules require a written security plan — and proof you follow it.

How truit keeps your firm protected

The security and reliability a firm holding client financials needs.

Locked-down client data

MFA, encryption, and tight access controls keep returns and records out of the wrong hands.

Defense against wire fraud

Advanced email security and staff training stop the spoofed-invoice scams aimed at your team.

Uptime when it matters most

Proactive monitoring and tested backups keep you working through the season you can't afford to lose.

The systems we keep secure

Your firm runs on software that holds the most sensitive financial data your clients have. We know every layer of the accounting stack — and lock down all of it.

01

Tax Software

Drake, ProConnect, UltraTax, Lacerte — whatever platform your team lives in during busy season, we keep it up, secured, and backed up when deadlines can't move.

02

Client Portals & File Sharing

Portals like ShareFile and Citrix handle SSNs, returns, and financial statements daily. An unsecured portal is an open door to client data — and a liability waiting to happen.

03

Accounting & Practice Management

QuickBooks, Xero, CCH Axcess, Thomson Reuters — the platforms that run your billing, WIP, and client records need monitored, patched, and protected year-round.

04

Business Email

Wire fraud and invoice spoofing start in the inbox. Finance professionals are prime targets — we stop impersonation and phishing before it costs a client their wire transfer.

05

Remote & Hybrid Access

Staff working from home during tax season need secure, reliable access. Unsecured remote connections are how attackers get in — we close that door.

06

Backup & Document Retention

Client records, prior-year returns, and audit files have retention requirements. We make sure your backups are tested, recoverable, and meet the rules you're held to.

The threat landscape

CPA firms hold the financial keys to every client they serve — and attackers know it.

Wire fraud, tax identity theft, and ransomware all target accounting firms specifically because the data they hold is immediately monetizable. And the IRS expects you to protect it.

90%+ Of breaches at accounting firms start with a phishing email — finance is one of the most-targeted industries.
WISP The IRS requires every tax preparer to maintain a Written Information Security Plan. Most firms don't have one — or can't prove they follow it.
Wire Fraud Business email compromise targeting CPAs redirects client wire transfers and payroll — average loss per incident exceeds $130K.
Busy Season March and April are the worst possible time for a system failure — and attackers know your team is too busy to notice something off.
