Why accounting firms are targeted

Cybercriminals go where the valuable data is. Accounting firms have it in abundance.

Client Data at Risk

Accounting firms hold Social Security numbers, financial records, and business data for hundreds or thousands of clients — making them prime targets for cybercriminals.

Regulatory Pressure

The IRS, FTC, and state regulators are increasing enforcement of cybersecurity requirements for financial services firms. Non-compliance leads to penalties and lost business.

Reputation Stakes

A single data breach can destroy client trust that took decades to build. Firms that suffer breaches lose an average of 30% of their client base within 12 months.
