Cybersecurity

Accounting firms are targeted 300% more often than other sectors, and 60% of small firms close within six months of an attack. We help financial-services firms stay resilient — and keep their clients’ trust.

Why accounting firms are prime targets

  • High-value data — SSNs, tax IDs, bank and investment details at scale.
  • Access to many organisations — client systems, third parties and the supply chain.
  • Resource constraints — limited in-house security, compliance pressure and legacy systems.

2025 emerging threats

  • AI-powered attacks — sophisticated phishing, deepfakes and automated exploitation.
  • Ransomware evolution — double / triple extortion timed to tax season.
  • API & cloud exploits — SaaS misconfigurations and integration weaknesses.
