Cyberattacks are on the rise across all industries, but accountancy firms face unique threats due to the sensitive nature of the data they handle.

Regulatory compliance is another driving factor for enhanced cybersecurity. Accountancy firms often deal with financial data subject to strict regulations like GDPR, SOX, and local data protection laws.

Accountants are entrusted with some of the most confidential aspects of their clients’ lives and businesses. Losing client data to hackers doesn’t just create immediate operational chaos; it erodes long-term trust.

Many firms perceive cybersecurity as a costly expense. However, the cost of implementing robust cybersecurity measures pales in comparison to the financial and reputational damage caused by a breach.

Accountancy firms typically lack in-house cybersecurity expertise. As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, relying on generic IT teams or ad hoc solutions is no longer sufficient. A specialised cybersecurity provider brings the latest tools, threat intelligence, and monitoring.
