Professional services firms

IT and Security for Professional Firms

Accounting practices, consultancies, and agencies bill their time and hold sensitive client material, so a compromised laptop or an hour of downtime is lost revenue and a client-trust problem at once. Nubinity, based in New Orleans, supports professional services firms with managed endpoint protection, Nubinity Hydra firewall and single sign-on, security consulting and penetration testing, and professional services, so a small firm has one defined owner for the technology its billable work depends on.

Common challenges

What actually creates risk in this industry.

These are the recurring problems Nubinity is asked to solve, mapped to the services that address them.

Protecting client files across a distributed team

Staff move between the office, home, and client sites carrying financials, contracts, and deliverables. Managed endpoint protection applies one monitored security baseline to every device instead of relying on per-machine settings.

Managing logins across the tool stack

Firms run a stack of practice, project, and file-sharing tools with credentials that grow as staff turn over. Nubinity Hydra pairs managed firewall controls with single sign-on so access is granted and revoked from one place.

Answering client security questionnaires

Larger clients now ask their advisors and agencies about security posture before they engage. Security consulting and penetration testing produce documented findings and a remediation order a firm can point to.

Questions

What to clarify before engaging Nubinity.

Can Nubinity work with our existing practice and project tools?

In most cases. Nubinity reviews the firm's existing accounting, project management, and file-sharing systems during scoping and designs endpoint protection, firewall, and SSO to work alongside them rather than requiring a platform change.

Do you support seasonal workload peaks?

Yes. Managed security is scoped to the firm's staffing and busy periods, such as tax season or a project surge, so coverage and support hold up when the workload rises.

Is penetration testing disruptive to billable work?

Scope, timing, and rules of engagement are agreed in advance specifically to avoid disrupting client deadlines or the systems staff use to deliver work.
