Cybersecurity and Compliance

Cybersecurity Built Around Compliance — Not Just Checkboxes

For CPA firms under the FTC Safeguards Rule, medical practices with HIPAA requirements, and financial organizations navigating regulatory scrutiny — Techsico IT builds security programs that satisfy auditors and actually protect your clients.

Compliance Is the Floor. Security Is the Goal.

Compliance frameworks tell you what you’re required to do. They don’t tell you whether your clients’ data is actually safe. At Techsico IT, we build security programs that satisfy the regulatory requirement and close the real gaps that attackers exploit.

For accounting firms, that means FTC Safeguards Rule compliance — a mandate that went into effect for CPA firms in 2023 and catches many firms unprepared. For medical practices, it means HIPAA. For financial advisors, it means SEC and FINRA guidance on data protection. We understand the specific regulatory environment your business operates in, and we build a program that fits it.

What Our Cybersecurity and Compliance Programs Cover

FTC Safeguards Rule for CPA Firms

The FTC Safeguards Rule requires accounting firms that handle consumer financial data to implement a written information security program. We build and maintain that program — including the risk assessment, employee training, and incident response plan the rule requires.

Risk Assessments and Security Audits

A thorough assessment of your current environment — identifying vulnerable systems, access control gaps, unencrypted data, and missing controls. You get a prioritized remediation plan, not just a report you’ll never act on.

Endpoint Protection and EDR

Next-generation antivirus and endpoint detection on every device in your environment. Malicious activity is detected and contained — not just logged and emailed to someone who doesn’t have time to read alerts.

Email Security and Phishing Defense

Most breaches start with a phishing email. We deploy email filtering, impersonation protection, and link scanning — and train your staff to recognize what gets through. The human layer matters as much as the technical one.

Multi-Factor Authentication and Access Controls

MFA deployed across all accounts and systems — Microsoft 365, remote access, client portals, and your practice management software. Access controls set by role so employees see only what they need to see.

Incident Response Planning

A documented incident response plan so your firm knows exactly what to do if something goes wrong. We help you build it, test it, and keep it current — because regulators and cyber insurers both want to see it.

Who We Serve

We work primarily with CPA and accounting firms navigating the FTC Safeguards Rule — but our compliance programs are built for any organization in a regulated industry. Medical practices with HIPAA obligations. Financial advisory offices with SEC and FINRA data protection requirements. Staffing companies managing sensitive employee and client records. If your industry has compliance requirements around data security, we know them — and we build programs that meet them without disrupting how your firm works.

Know Where You Stand Before Your Auditor Does

A compliance review with Techsico IT takes 15 minutes and tells you exactly where the gaps are. No jargon — just a clear picture of what you need and what it takes to get there.
