CPA Firms

Picture this:

It’s April 14th and Microsoft has pushed out a patch that has crippled all of your workstations. Clients are calling wondering if their return got filed and how much their refund check is. Your associates cannot answer these questions because their computers aren’t working properly. People cannot bill their time and are just waiting for their computers to come back online.

Or this:

A client calls you and says “I tried opening the documents you sent me but they wont work.” You think back and are pretty sure you didn’t send them anything. Another client emails and tells you the same thing, then your attorney calls or emails you to tell you the same thing. But you haven’t sent anything. You look in your sent items and see that someone or something has been sending emails to everyone in your contact list. You’ve been hacked! How did they get in? What else did they get into? Is your client data safe? What does your reputation to your clients and colleagues look like now?

These are the things nightmares are made of for your firm. Would you know what to do when these events happened? A better question is how would you prevent these things from happening in the first place?
