Multi-factor authentication, encryption, endpoint detection, backups, and staff training are in place and maintained, making Safeguards Rule reviews and cyber insurance questionnaires easier.

What's at stake

One spoofed email can cost six figures

Business email compromise targets the exact payments and closings your clients trust you to handle.

Breach notices damage relationships

Notifying clients, regulators, and possibly the FTC is costly, and the reputational damage can outlast the incident.

Regulators expect more than antivirus

A written security program, risk assessments, and specific controls are expected, and missing them creates exposure.

Meet your requirements with confidence

Working with Tridium means the technical safeguards these rules require are implemented and maintained, so you can document your program with confidence.

FTC Safeguards Rule (GLBA)

Non-bank financial institutions, including many tax preparers, CPA firms, mortgage brokers, and lenders, must maintain a written information security program with a qualified individual in charge, risk assessments, access controls, encryption, multi-factor authentication, monitoring, staff training, and vendor oversight. Certain breaches affecting 500 or more consumers must be reported to the FTC.

IRS Publication 4557 and the WISP

The IRS expects tax professionals to have a written information security plan (WISP) and to safeguard taxpayer data, aligned with the FTC Safeguards Rule.

Banking and insurance regulators

Banks follow interagency GLBA safeguards guidance and FFIEC expectations, and insurers face GLBA and, in many states, insurance data security laws modeled on the NAIC model law. Each requires risk-based security controls and incident response planning.

Florida Information Protection Act (FIPA)

Florida businesses that hold personal information must take reasonable measures to protect it. After a breach, affected Floridians generally must be notified within 30 days, and breaches affecting 500 or more Floridians must also be reported to the Florida Attorney General. Strong safeguards make it far less likely you will ever have to send those notices.

This is general information, not legal advice. Talk with your compliance advisor or attorney about how these apply to your business.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a financial or accounting firm get from managed cybersecurity?
The firm gets protection against wire fraud and account takeovers, the security controls regulators and cyber insurers expect already in place, and staff who can work securely from anywhere. With Tridium, that comes from 24/7 monitoring, secured Microsoft 365, encrypted devices, backups, and phishing training.
Does the FTC Safeguards Rule apply to CPA firms and tax preparers?
In most cases, yes. The FTC treats tax preparers and many accounting firms that handle consumer financial information as financial institutions under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, so they must maintain a written information security program with safeguards such as multi-factor authentication, encryption, and risk assessments.
How can a small financial firm prevent wire fraud?
Combine technical and process controls: enforce multi-factor authentication, monitor email for suspicious sign-ins and mailbox rules, filter phishing, train staff, and always verify payment changes by phone using a known number. Tridium provides the 24/7 monitoring and Microsoft 365 hardening that catch account takeovers early, before money moves.
Will this help with our cyber insurance application?
Usually. Cyber insurers commonly ask about multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection and response, backups, and security training. Having those in place and documented helps you answer accurately and confidently.
