Accounting, Insurance, Agencies & Consultants
IT for the Lincoln and Omaha office that isn’t a clinic or a courtroom.
What we see
What we see in professional services.
- 01
Client files in the same tenant as marketing mail
Tax returns, policy documents, and campaign assets share OneDrive or Drive with whoever still has a guest link from 2022. We tighten sharing, MFA, and offboarding so a departed intern isn’t still in the client folder. - 02
- 03
Tax-season and open-enrollment temps who keep their logins
Seasonal staff and 1099s collect mailboxes, VPN, and door fobs. Identity lifecycle has to move at HR speed in January and November, not whenever someone remembers to open a ticket. - 04
A multi-tenant suite with a shared lobby and a cheap camera kit
Haymarket, downtown, Aksarben, and West Omaha offices often share a building. After-hours coverage and suite doors matter; recording the neighbor’s reception does not. Assessment first: /physical-security-assessments.
Frameworks & regulatory context.
- 01CISA Cyber Performance GoalsMFA, EDR, email, backup, and incident-response basics sized to an office — the same questions carriers and clients increasingly ask. Practical, not a 200-page binder.Reference
- 02FTC Safeguards Rule (where it applies)Many CPA, tax-prep, and insurance agencies are non-bank financial institutions under the FTC Safeguards Rule. We map access, encryption, vendor, and incident controls to that language when customer financial information is in scope — readiness and evidence, not an FTC determination we can sell.Reference
- 03NIST Cybersecurity FrameworkIdentify / Protect / Detect / Respond / Recover so office IT isn’t antivirus plus a hope. Umbrella framing for CISA goals and Safeguards work.Reference
- 04Huntress or GuardzHuntress SOC-led EDR/ITDR/SIEM/SAT, or Guardz all-in-one for a smaller shop that wants one console. Pick one core stack per design — we don’t stack both without a reason.Reference
