✦ Data Security Must be a Priority

Meet IRS & FTC
Data Security
Requirements

The IRS & FTC require finance professionals — CPAs, EAs, bookkeepers, tax preparers, and independent insurance agencies — to have documented security measures in place. Firms without them can face fines exceeding $50,000.

🛡️

Built Around IRS & FTC Guidelines

Every service Watch Cloud provides maps directly to IRS and FTC data security requirements for finance professionals.

📋

Written Information Security Plan (WISP)

A structured document outlining the specific measures and protocols your firm has in place to protect client data — required by the FTC Safeguards Rule.

🌐

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

A secure, encrypted tunnel that protects your internet traffic when working from the office, home, or on the go — keeping client data safe on any connection.

🎓

Cybersecurity Awareness Training

Ongoing training and phishing simulations that teach your team to recognize digital threats — the #1 cause of data breaches is human error.

🛡️

MDR with 24/7 Security Operations Center

Around-the-clock threat monitoring and active response by a dedicated security team. Threats are detected and neutralized before they become breaches.

💻

Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)

Advanced protection on every device in your firm that continuously monitors for suspicious behavior and automatically isolates threats in real time.

🦠

Antivirus & Ransomware Protection

Enterprise-grade antivirus specifically tuned for finance environments, with ransomware detection that prevents attackers from encrypting your client files.

All services work together

Watch Cloud's stack is purpose-built for finance firms — every tool is integrated and communicates with the others for seamless protection.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

I downloaded the RMM software. How do I know it's working?+
You should be able to see the RMM application in your device's system tray. If you don't see it, or have any questions about your setup, reach out to Watch Cloud support — we're always happy to confirm everything is running correctly.
Do I really need all of this?+
Watch Cloud has reviewed IRS and FTC guidance for businesses that handle personal and financial data. Our plans are built to cover the regulatory requirements for CPAs, EAs, bookkeepers, tax preparers, and insurance agencies. As requirements evolve, we continue to update what we offer.
I'm a bookkeeper / insurance agent — not a tax preparer. Does Watch Cloud cover me?+
Absolutely. Watch Cloud was built for all finance professionals who handle sensitive client data — CPAs, EAs, bookkeepers, tax preparers, and independent insurance agencies. The FTC Safeguards Rule applies to your industry too, and our plans are designed with that in mind.
I already have antivirus software. Do I need yours?+
You're welcome to keep your existing antivirus if you prefer. However, Watch Cloud's antivirus is already included in your plan pricing and is specifically configured to integrate with our other security tools — meaning better communication between your endpoint protection, EDR, and SOC. Opting out will not change your plan price.
I already paid for services. Now what?+
Once registration and payment are complete, the Watch Cloud team immediately begins building your security solution. You'll receive an onboarding email with next steps — be sure to check your spam folder and whitelist the "taxcybersecurity" domain. During peak season, onboarding may take up to 3 business days.
What happens if there's a security incident?+
Our 24/7 Security Operations Center monitors your devices continuously. If a threat is detected, our MDR team responds immediately to contain and remediate it. Practice Defender and Firm Elite clients also receive dedicated incident response support so you're never handling a breach alone.
