For Law, Accounting & Consulting Firms
IT for Firms That Bill by the Hour
IT for SoCal professional services firms — law, accounting, consulting — with secure data, reliable laptops, and compliance-ready Microsoft 365 from one local partner.
What IT and security does an independent CPA, law, or consulting firm need?
For accounting: a Written Information Security Plan (WISP) covering the FTC Safeguards Rule and IRS Publication 4557, MFA everywhere, encrypted backup, secure file transfer for client documents. For legal and consulting: the same baseline plus document-handling controls. The Safeguards Rule does not exempt solo practitioners — small firms carry the same documentation burden as larger ones.

Secure remote work that still feels fast
Common for professional services firms
- Partners travel and need fast, secure remote access — it's never actually fast.
- Client document sharing is a mix of email, Dropbox, and "it's on the network drive."
- Phishing attempts targeting partners and admins are frequent and convincing.
- Client contracts increasingly require cybersecurity attestations you can't currently produce.

Compliance Documentation
The technical evidence your clients are asking for in their vendor security questionnaires.
A Technician Who Knows Your Firm
You're not re-explaining your setup every time something comes up. One accountable point of contact who learns your matters, systems, and partner preferences — and keeps that context between engagements.
Frequently asked
Do you have experience with practice-specific software?
We're vendor-agnostic. Rather than claiming deep expertise in every legal or accounting platform, we focus on securing the environment around them — SSO, conditional access, endpoint hardening, and encrypted data flow. The software keeps working the way your team expects; access to it becomes harder to compromise.
Can you handle a small firm of under 10 people?
Absolutely — that's our sweet spot. We size the engagement so you get enterprise-grade security without enterprise-grade overhead.
What's the difference between an MSP and break-fix IT?
Break-fix means you call when something breaks and pay an hourly rate to fix it. The incentive is misaligned — you save money when nothing breaks, the technician earns more when it does. A managed service provider (MSP) works on a monthly plan to keep the environment healthy, monitor security, patch systems, and respond to issues. The MSP earns more by reducing your downtime, not by being slow. For a billing-driven firm where every hour offline costs billable time, the MSP model usually saves money inside 12 months even before counting the security and compliance lift.
What happens during a security assessment?
We get read-only access to your Microsoft 365 tenant, endpoint management console, and any other systems in scope. Over one to two weeks we review identity controls (MFA coverage, conditional access, privileged accounts), endpoint security (encryption, patches, EDR), email defenses (anti-phishing, DKIM/SPF/DMARC), data and backup posture, and network/remote access. You get a prioritized findings report mapped to CIS Controls v8 — what to fix first, what's medium priority, and what's already in good shape. The findings are yours; you can hire us to remediate, do it yourself, or take it to another provider.
How much does managed IT cost for a 10-person law or accounting firm?
For a 10-person professional services firm in the Inland Empire, monthly managed IT is scoped to your environment and quoted after a discovery call — what's included — helpdesk, security baseline, secure remote access for partners, M365 administration, and the documentation your clients are asking for in vendor security questionnaires. We quote based on your scope after a 30-minute discovery call, never published in advance because the right number depends on your existing licenses and how much remote work you do.
