Industry Problems We Solve

Lack Of Trusted Cybersecurity Guidance for CPA Firms

Many accounting firms — especially small and mid-sized practices — don’t have immediate, reliable expertise around digital risk and compliance. When client data is at stake, you can’t afford to be scrambling for answers. CPA Defender provides direct, trusted guidance from experts who understand the accounting industry’s unique regulations, client expectations, and technology stack — so your firm can respond quickly and confidently.

Lack of Secure, Industry-Specific Collaboration

Cyber threats in the accounting sector are evolving faster than ever, yet firms often operate in isolation. CPA Defender connects your organization to a vetted network of accounting professionals and cybersecurity experts who share real-world incidents, lessons learned, and proven protection strategies — strengthening your defenses while safeguarding the profession as a whole.

Lack Of Timely Industry Intelligence for Accounting

From tax-season phishing campaigns to supply-chain breaches targeting accounting software, CPA firms face unique threats. CPA Defender gives members a confidential way to share security incidents anonymously and learn from each other. This pooled intelligence delivers early warnings and actionable insights tailored to the accounting profession — keeping you ahead of attackers and in compliance with client and regulatory demands.
