IT Support for Accountants

Compliance-Driven, Secure & Accountancy-Focused Solutions

🔒 Why IT Security is No Longer Optional for Accountants

With HMRC tightening its cybersecurity expectations and the ICAEW issuing formal guidelines, the regulatory burden on accountancy firms has never been higher. Failure to comply with UK GDPR, data security standards, and audit trail obligations can result in:

  • ⚠️ Penalties from the ICO
  • ⚠️ Legal action from affected clients
  • ⚠️ Irreparable reputational damage

UK GDPR mandates “appropriate technical and organisational measures” to protect client data. In practice, this means robust backup systems, device security, staff training, and verifiable data handling procedures.

Are You Facing These IT Challenges in Your Firm?

Many accountancy practices unknowingly operate in non-compliance due to:

  • Outdated or unsupported servers
  • Staff using personal storage (Dropbox, Gmail, etc.)
  • No antivirus, firewalls, or patching protocols
  • Untested or manual backups
  • No direct support for Sage, IRIS, TaxCalc
  • No access audit trail across devices
  • Remote employees on unsecured home networks

These issues may result in data loss, downtime, and GDPR breaches.
