For accounting, law & professional firms in Ontario

Know where your firm is exposed — before an attacker or your insurer does.

A fixed-fee security & compliance review that gives you a clear, plain-English picture of your firm’s real risks — especially the email and payment fraud aimed at firms that hold client money and sensitive data — plus a prioritized list of what to fix.

Advisory only. No sales pressure, no jargon, no software to buy.

Why it matters

The risk isn’t abstract. It’s aimed directly at professional firms.

Firms that hold client funds and personal data are among the most targeted — and the obligations to protect that data are real.

Email & payment fraud

“Updated banking details” emails that appear to come from your firm are how attackers redirect client payments and closing funds. Most firms have no defense configured.

Legal & professional duties

PIPEDA breach reporting is mandatory, and your professional body expects you to safeguard client data. A breach can become a compliance and conduct problem, not just an IT one.

Client trust

Your entire business rests on clients trusting you with their money and information. One incident — especially in busy season — can undo years of that trust.

What you get

A fixed-fee review, delivered in about a week.

A structured look at where you stand, scored against a recognized baseline for small and mid-sized firms — then a plain-English report you can act on.

STEP 1

Discovery session

A focused two-hour conversation covering email, access, data, backups, devices, and vendors.

STEP 2

Technical validation

Verification of your email authentication, external exposure, and key security settings.

STEP 3

Written report

Your risk picture, prioritized findings, and a 30/90-day action plan — in plain English.

STEP 4

Walkthrough call

A 45-minute review of the report so you and your IT support know exactly what to do next.
