IT & Cybersecurity for
Accounting Firms

CPA practices and accounting firms hold sensitive financial data and face strict regulatory requirements. MMIT delivers the IT management, cybersecurity, and compliance documentation your firm needs.

The Risk Profile

Accounting firms are high-value targets
for cybercriminals

CPA practices and accounting firms hold a concentrated store of sensitive financial data across hundreds of clients. That makes you an attractive — and often under-protected — target.

Financial Data at Scale

Balance sheets, tax returns, payroll data, and bank account information for every client — all stored in one place that attackers can access with a single compromised credential.

GLBA Applies to You

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act classifies accounting firms as financial institutions. That means FTC Safeguards Rule compliance is required — including written security plans, MFA, encryption, and employee training.

Business Email Compromise

Attackers impersonate CPAs to redirect client payments, intercept payroll transfers, or access financial accounts. A compromised email account can trigger wire fraud worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Third-Party Software Risk

Accounting platforms, client portals, and cloud storage services introduce additional attack surface. Each integration is a potential entry point if not properly secured and monitored.

What MMIT Delivers

Everything your accounting firm needs
in one managed service

MMIT provides managed IT, layered cybersecurity, and compliance documentation — all designed around the requirements that apply to accounting practices.

01

Managed IT

Remote monitoring, patch management, helpdesk support, and endpoint hardening — your systems run reliably so you can focus on clients, not computers.

03

24/7 Security Monitoring

Continuous SIEM monitoring of your environment. Threats are detected and responded to around the clock — not just during business hours.

04

Multi-Factor Authentication

Compliance Documentation

Written Information Security Plan, FTC Safeguards documentation, employee training records, and annual security program reviews — all maintained by MMIT.

06

Backup & Recovery

Encrypted daily cloud backup with tested restores and documented recovery procedures — protecting against ransomware, hardware failure, and accidental deletion.
