Why Managed IT Is Essential for Accounting & CPA Firms
At Vector Choice Technologies, we're revolutionizing the IT industry with our cutting-edge approach to servicing CPA and Accounting firms. A single cyberattack, data breach, or compliance violation can compromise sensitive tax returns, expose confidential financial records, and result in FTC penalties up to $50,120 per violation. Managed IT turns technology into an advantage, keeping your accounting firm secure, compliant, and focused on serving clients.
Here's how it makes the difference:
Protect Client Financial Data - Safeguard tax returns, financial statements, bank records, and personally identifiable information (PII) against cyber threats. Accounting firms are prime targets because they hold sensitive data for dozens or hundreds of clients in one place.
Ensure FTC Safeguards Rule Compliance - Stay aligned with FTC requirements, including designating a qualified security officer, implementing written information security plans, encrypting data in transit and at rest, conducting risk assessments, and maintaining incident response procedures.
Why Vector Choice Is the Right Partner for Accounting & CPA Firms

FTC Safeguards Rule Compliance for Accounting Firms
The
new FTC regulations require businesses that work in finance, especially
businesses dealing with taxes, to hire a qualified individual to create a
written information security plan and enforce it. Vector Choice can help you
comply with these regulations by providing managed IT services that include a
Chief Security Officer (CSO).
Vector
Choice's CCO is an industry leader and a subject matter expert in compliance.
Security and compliance should enable business operations by allowing senior
leaders to make informed risk decisions while protecting critical business
functions and operations. Vector Choice will assess your current environment against the requirements now mandated by the FTC regulations. We will work with you to develop a
business strategy, budget, and timeline to fill any gaps in your compliance.
By
hiring Vector Choice as your managed IT services provider, you can be confident
that your cybersecurity is meeting the compliance requirements. Our fully
managed IT security services are cost-effective and billed in 1-hour increments per month. This means that you can have the peace of mind of knowing that you are
compliant without having to hire a full-time CSO and working with one of the
top Information Technology consulting firms and MSP'S in the nation.
