Attackers look for the highest concentration of valuable data behind the lightest defenses. Professional services firms sit exactly at that intersection, and each profession carries its own regulatory weight.
Confidentiality is the product
Merger terms, litigation strategy, trust accounts, and privileged communications all live on the same systems. A breach is an ethics issue and a client crisis at once, and ABA Formal Opinion 483 requires you to tell clients when it happens.
The SEC deadline has passed
As of June 3, 2026 the amended Regulation S-P applies to every SEC registered adviser, regardless of size. You now need a written incident response program and must notify affected clients within 30 days of a breach. Examiners have made it a 2026 priority.
You are a financial institution
Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, federal law treats tax and accounting professionals as financial institutions. The FTC Safeguards Rule requires a written information security plan, and incidents affecting 500 or more people must be reported within 30 days.
Three layers. Fully managed. Nothing required of your team.
Phishing simulation and training
Monthly simulated phishing emails test every employee. Anyone who clicks receives immediate, targeted training. Phishing is the most common way attackers get in, so this layer addresses the front door first.
Vulnerability scanning
We scan your systems for known weaknesses before attackers find them. Unpatched software is now the single most common entry point into breached organizations. Your first scan runs within 48 hours of onboarding.
Plain English risk reports
Every month you receive a readable risk report and your ThorGuard Security Score, an A through F grade showing exactly where your firm stands, what changed, and what to do next. Documentation regulators and insurers actually want to see.
The approach is grounded in the breach cost research itself. IBM found that employee training reduced average breach costs by roughly $192,000 and that working with a managed security provider reduced them by roughly $128,000. IBM / Ponemon 2025
