Practice Protect Review

Security Software Features

Practice Protect comes with reliable security software built exclusively for accounting and bookkeeping firms. This software is equipped with features that make it easy for them to guard their cloud accounting applications and firm and client data against cybersecurity threats such as authentication attack, data leakage, and data theft. 

For instance, the security software enables users to organize all their cloud accounting applications in a single dashboard and have them accessed by authorized team members and stakeholders using only one password. It also provides features for controlling password resets like the capability to route unauthorized password reset emails to a nominated password manager.

In addition, they are given flexibility when it comes to controlling access to cloud accounting applications. They can block outsourced or offshore team members from accessing some accounting applications by enabling office-only access. Practice Protect, moreover, permits them to grant access to offshore workers but restrict it only to the specific IP address of their BPO location or office. This way, offshore workers won’t be able to access the applications outside the workplace. 

Practice Protect gives users complete visibility over application access. It provides a log that shows what applications were accessed, who accessed them, and what location they were accessed from. The software also sends instant notifications whenever applications are being accessed from unusual locations and at irregular times or there are repeated failed login attempts. 

Training & Legal Protection

Practice Protect doesn’t only allow users to utilize a reliable security tool, but it also enables them to implement cloud security training and legal protection policies. With this, they will be able to protect their employees and the entire accounting firm from the destructive effects of cybersecurity threats. 

Practice Protect provides cloud security training through individual sessions and group webinars where employees can understand the current and potential security risks to their industry and responsibilities they need to do when it comes to protecting firm and client data. 

Meanwhile, putting the right legal protection policies in place helps them reduce the liability they might incur in case third-parties like outsourced workers, contractors, and IT service providers mishandle their firm and client data. 

Cloud Best Practice Certification

Practice Protect makes it possible for accounting and bookkeeping firms to demonstrate their adherence to the industry’s best cloud security practices and standards. They will receive an endorsement from Practice Protect called Cloud Best Practice Certification once they passed an audit. This certification serves as proof that they have successfully implemented the right cloud security technology, team training, and legal protection policies, giving clients the assurance that their data are kept safe and private.
