Common Misconceptions

  • Many small firms mistakenly believe they are exempt from the FTC Safeguards Rule because they don’t see themselves as traditional financial institutions. However, the FTC’s broad definition includes any business handling personal financial information, making compliance mandatory.
  • Many small businesses believe they aren’t targets for cybercriminals, thinking, “Why would they come after me?” In reality, cybercriminals often target small firms precisely because they assume these businesses lack robust security, making them easier to exploit for financial gain or data theft.
  • “My IT person handles everything.”
    While having an IT professional is valuable, cybersecurity & compliance requires a proactive, ongoing strategy that goes beyond routine IT tasks, including monitoring, employee training, and compliance management.

With The CPA Tech, you’re partnering with a team that understands the demands of Tax, Accounting, Bookkeeping and Financial firms and delivers practical, reliable solutions.
