FOR ACCOUNTANCY FIRMS

Cyber Essentials for firms that hold other people’s money and numbers.

Clients increasingly expect evidence of basic cyber hygiene from the firm holding their financial data, and professional bodies point to it as good practice. We certify around the fraud patterns that actually target bookkeeping and payment workflows.

FOR ACCOUNTANCY FIRMS

Where accountancy firms actually get hit.

Access to client bank details and payment runs makes this sector a direct financial target.

Payment redirection fraud

A compromised email intercepts or spoofs an instruction during a real payment run — the client trusts the firm, which is exactly what makes it work.

Phishing targeting bookkeeping staff

Staff processing invoices and payments daily are a specific, repeated target for convincing-looking fake supplier emails.

Client financial data exposure

Tax records, bank details, and payroll data sitting in an unpatched system are a high-value target for extortion.
