The Client

John Geantasio is a licensed CPA in New Jersey and New York with more than 30 years in accounting and taxation. His firm handles tax returns, Social Security numbers, banking details and confidential corporate records.

The Challenge

John was hesitant at first, like many CPAs, and was not convinced his firm was at meaningful risk. A third-party penetration test showed that even reputable firms have hidden vulnerabilities.

What We Did

After a readout meeting, John engaged us to remediate the findings and put an information security program in place.Ransomware protection and application allow-listing.Employee cybersecurity training, an annual third-party risk assessment, and penetration testing.

“The testing was so easy on my side, and the level of experience and service was exceptional. I am now a happy customer and feel more secure knowing my clients' data is protected by a team that truly understands what's at stake.”
