Security you can prove, for the client data you are trusted with.
Accountants, bookkeepers, mortgage brokers and financial advisers. The compliance never stops, the client records are sensitive, and a short outage burns real billable hours.
Your licensee and your PI insurer want to see that the controls are real. We build it that way and hand you the evidence.
The headaches we hear about most.
Privacy obligations on every record you hold
Tax file numbers, bank details, statements of advice. The Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles apply to all of it, and a breach is not just embarrassing, it is reportable.
Payment redirect and BSB-change scams
Finance firms are a prime target. A spoofed email asking to change a client's bank details can cost a fortune and your reputation. Email security has to catch it before a staff member does.
Software the practice cannot work without
Practice management, ledgers and portals carry your day. When Xero, MYOB or your document store is down, the whole team stops and the clock keeps running on deadlines.
Portals that demand tight access control
The ATO, ASIC, lender and aggregator portals all expect multi-factor and proper access management. Loose logins and shared passwords are the gap an auditor circles first.
Built around how finance practices actually run.
Essential Eight aligned, with the paperwork
We configure to the Essential Eight end to end and document it, so when your licensee or insurer asks how you manage cyber risk, you hand over evidence instead of a one-page promise.
MFA and conditional access across Microsoft 365
Identity protection, multi-factor and conditional access on every account, with Bitwarden for password hygiene. The right person gets in, the wrong one does not, even with a stolen password.
Huntress threat hunting on every endpoint
24/7 detection and response watching for the quiet attacker who slipped past the inbox filter. Average security incident repair is eight minutes once we are onto it.
Tested backup for your ledgers and shares
Backup and recovery for Xero, MYOB, Class, BGL and the file shares behind them, with restores tested regularly so the recovery actually works the day you need it.
Layered email security with Microsoft 365 hardening and Cloudflare in front, plus staff guidance on what a payment-change request should trigger. We also lock down the mailbox rules attackers use to hide their tracks.
Yes. We align you to the Essential Eight and keep the documentation current, so the questionnaire becomes a copy-and-confirm exercise rather than a scramble before the deadline.
We back up the practice data and the file shares around it, then test the restore so it is proven. Cloud software is not the same as a backup, and we make sure you have both.
Deskport is a registered ICT supplier on buy.nsw and a Microsoft Cloud Solution Partner, which matters when your clients or your own funding require credentialed providers.
A real review by a real consultant.
