MORE ON OUR CLIENT DATA SECURITY PROTOCOLS:

At Argentum Consulting, we take Cyber-Security VERY SERIOUSLY. So seriously, that we have partnered with Practice Protect to help safeguard our clients’ precious data.
Practice Protect employs a “military-grade” secure platform to manage all of Argentum Consulting’s staff passwords. In fact, none of the team here at Argentum Consulting know their cloud app passwords, they only know their own minimum 16 character “passphrase” to first access the Practice Protect platform. Once on the platform, they can securely access the various cloud apps needed to carry out their daily work. If a team member leaves our firm, their access to the Practice Protect platform is simply switched off.
All our passwords are regularly updated “passphrases”, with a minimum of 16 characters. Why? Because a brute force attack would take a minimum 74 million years to crack one of our passwords! Coupled with two factor authentication (“2FA”), this adds extra layers of security to help secure our client’s precious data.
But it doesn’t stop there. In addition, the Practice Protect platform will refuse access if the person logging on is not within a prescribed geo-location. This further reduces the risk of an unauthorised person offshore or interstate accessing our systems even if they do improperly get hold of a team member’s logon credentials and get past 2FA!
If you would like to find out more about Practice Protect and how it could help your business, please give us a call. Alternatively, we encourage you to request a free Cyber Security Consultation with the team at Practice Protect. Even if you decide not to use their services, you will learn plenty of useful tips and ideas for enhancing the data security of your own business.
Your business does not need to be an “accounting practice” to use Practice Protect, just a business of one or more users who need secure access to your firm’s suite of cloud apps, plus a way for an administrator to securely and conveniently manage access to your firm’s staff. All the while mitigating the risk of a cyber intrusion that could devastate your business and its reputation.
