The challenge

Where they started

The firm was relying on consumer-grade tools and an overloaded part-time tech. They could not answer their insurer’s security questionnaire honestly, and every tax season brought outages at the worst possible time.

What we did

The approach

  • 1 Ran a full assessment and mapped controls to the insurer’s requirements
  • 2 Rolled out MFA, EDR, email security, and staff phishing training
  • 3 Stabilized their Microsoft 365 tenant and added tested backups
  • 4 Put a vCIO roadmap and budget in place for the year ahead
