FAQ
Common questions
We handle sensitive client files — what's the biggest risk?
Business email compromise and ransomware are the two most common and costly risks for professional services firms — both are addressable with the right email, identity and backup controls.
Do our professional indemnity insurers care about this?
Increasingly, yes — many PI insurers now ask about security controls, and having them in place and documented can support your renewal and claims position.
Can you work around our practice management software?
Yes. We work around your existing systems — practice management, document management, time and billing — securing identity, email, devices and backups without disrupting how your team works.
