For insurance and accounting firms

Keep client financial data safe, and your own house in order

Insurance agencies and accounting firms hold the details clients care about most: identities, finances and tax records. We help small firms protect them.

What's at stake

You handle what clients cannot replace

  • Sensitive by nature
    Tax returns, policy files, identity numbers and bank details sit in email, shared folders and practice software. Insurance and financial firms often face data-security rules of their own, and clients expect you to get this right.
  • Deadlines don't move
    Tax season and renewals do not wait for a rebuild. Backups that are tested, and a plan for a bad day, keep a failure from becoming a missed deadline.
  • Your clients notice
    You advise clients on risk. Insurers and partners increasingly ask small firms how their own security stacks up, and a firm whose email is easy to fake stands out for the wrong reason.
At renewal time

What cyber insurers increasingly ask about

  • Sign-in protection
    Multi-factor sign-in on email and remote access.
  • Current, supported software
    Every computer patched, and nothing running that its maker has stopped supporting.
  • Backups that work
    Copies kept separate from your network, and a restore that has actually been tested.
  • Staff awareness
    Training and practice spotting fake emails.
  • A plan for a bad day
    Who does what if something goes wrong.

Cyber insurance applications increasingly ask about these controls. We help you answer honestly, and close the gaps.

What the free assessment looks at

Plain answers, in plain English

We also talk through staff training and your plan for a bad day, the parts software can't see.

Your computers

Computers and software

Which machines are patched, which software is out of date or unsupported, and where the real risk sits.

Your email

Email and sign-in

Whether your domain can be faked, how mailboxes are protected, and whether multi-factor sign-in is on where it matters.

Your backups

Backups and recovery

Whether you could get back to work after ransomware or a failed server, and whether anyone has ever tested a restore.
