IT, Cybersecurity & Compliance
for Tax & Accounting Firms

Yes — and small firms are often easier targets precisely because they lack dedicated IT protection. Tax preparers are especially attractive to cybercriminals because they hold sensitive Social Security numbers, financial records, and bank information for dozens or hundreds of clients. The IRS has flagged tax professionals as a high-priority target group for years.

A Written Information Security Plan (WISP) is required by the IRS for all tax preparers under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. It documents how your firm protects client data. The IRS began actively enforcing this requirement and includes WISP compliance checks in preparer audits. MMIT helps you create and maintain a compliant WISP as part of our service.

Antivirus alone covers only a fraction of modern threats. Today's attacks include phishing, credential theft, unpatched software vulnerabilities, and insider threats — none of which antivirus reliably catches. MMIT provides layered protection: monitoring, patch management, employee training, and rapid incident response on top of antivirus.

Our plans start at $40 per user per month for essential protection, with most firms choosing our Professional plan at $75 per user. Server protection is available as an add-on. We believe in transparent, flat-rate pricing — no hidden fees and no long-term lock-in contracts. Contact us for a quote tailored to your firm's size.

Yes, it applies to virtually every tax preparer and CPA firm regardless of size. The FTC classifies tax professionals as financial institutions under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which means the full Safeguards Rule applies to you. Requirements include a written security plan, MFA, encryption, access controls, employee training, vendor oversight documentation, and an annual review. Fines for non-compliance can reach $50,120 per violation per day.

We respond immediately to contain the threat, investigate the source, and work to restore your systems as quickly as possible. Our monitoring is designed to catch most threats before they cause damage — but if something does get through, you won't be handling it alone. We're your dedicated response team.
