For accountants
Web security for accountancy firms whose clients trust them with the numbers.
Clients hand you sensitive financial information because they trust you. A website that flags a browser warning the first time they visit erodes that trust before you’ve said hello.
Accountants live or die on trust. The tax-time client who lands on your homepage and sees “Your connection is not private” does not think “ah, an SSL configuration issue, no big deal” — they go to the firm down the road. The same applies to a client portal that throws a security warning when they try to upload last quarter’s receipts.
AuraWatch keeps an eye on the website-side things that erode that trust. Expiring certificates, weak encryption, exposed admin pages on your client portal, mixed content on your file-share subdomain, the staging site somebody put up in 2022 and never took down. We tell you in plain English so you can fix it — or connect you with one of our engineers if you would rather hand it off.
And because every plan includes your whole team, your IT support partner, your web designer, and the firm’s practice manager all see the same dashboard at no extra cost. Compliance evidence is easier when more than one person can pull it.
Real findings accountancy firms see in their first week
- Client portal login with weak encryption that triggers browser warnings.
The login page works, but Chrome and Edge both grade it C or lower. Some clients see warning pages; some see nothing and get on with it. Either way, it is a fixable configuration problem on the server.
- File-share subdomain with an expiring certificate.
The certificate auto-renew job stopped running 60 days ago. We catch it before your clients do.
- Old marketing campaign subdomain still on the open internet.
A landing page from a 2023 webinar, running an unpatched WordPress and a couple of plugins with known security flaws. Subdomain discovery catches it; the vulnerability checks tell you which parts are exposed.
- Missing security headers on the contact form.
A handful of small server settings that, on their own, are not show-stoppers — but together they are what an auditor or insurance underwriter will ask about.
Compliance evidence anyone in the firm can pull
On Pro and Enterprise plans, you can export stakeholder-ready PDF reports of your scan history. Useful for cyber-insurance applications, professional-body audits, and the occasional client who asks “what does your security setup look like?” Built from your real scan data — not a stock template.
