Cybersecurity & IT Compliance for CA Firms in India
Managed IT, cybersecurity and compliance support for chartered accountant and CA firms in India — because PMLA reporting duties and the DPDP Act apply to your practice directly, not just to your bank clients.

Under the PMLA, chartered accountants carrying out specified transactions on a client's behalf are reporting entities in their own right — client due diligence, record-keeping, and reporting to FIU-IND are your obligations, not something you can point at a bank and call someone else's problem.
Add the DPDP Act 2023's consent and breach-notification requirements, and CERT-In's 6-hour incident-reporting window, and most firms we inventory in the NCR are running well past what a shared drive and goodwill can actually cover.
We don't sell fear. We inventory what you actually have, map it against what actually applies to you, and fix the gaps that matter most first.
What we actually do for your firm
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Encrypted, tested backups for accounting software, working papers and client records — with a real restore test, not just a green checkmark on a report nobody reads.
24/7 Security Monitoring
A managed SOC watching for anomalies around the clock, so a compromised account gets shut down in minutes, not discovered during next year's audit.
Managed Network & Endpoint
Patched, monitored systems across every branch and remote or work-from-home staff, with access reviewed rather than assumed.
Compliance-as-a-Service
A maintained control library mapped to your region's requirements below, kept current as regulations change — not a one-time PDF you file away.
IT Helpdesk
A real ticketing desk, so "the printer's down during closing week" gets handled without derailing whoever actually runs your practice.
The risks specific to accounting practices
Not generic cybersecurity talk — the failure modes that actually show up in accounting and audit firms.
Filing-season phishing
Invoice and payment-redirect scams impersonating clients or vendors spike exactly when your staff are too busy to double-check. One bad transfer, and it's your firm's name in the complaint.
One login, every client's books
Staff and articled clerks often keep broad access long after a role changes. One compromised account can expose years of client financial records at once.
Confidentiality is the whole business
Your engagement letters already promise client data stays confidential. A breach isn't just downtime — it's a professional-conduct problem.
Backups nobody's tested
Ransomware doesn't wait for audit season to end. An untested backup is a belief, not a control.
Compliance you're already on the hook for
You may already be a reporting entity
Chartered accountants handling specified transactions on a client's behalf carry their own due-diligence, record-keeping and FIU-IND reporting duties under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Client personal data has its own law
Consent, data-principal rights and breach notification to the Data Protection Board apply to every client file that contains personal data — which, for a CA practice, is most of them.
Can you actually report an incident in time?
CERT-In Directions require reporting significant incidents within 6 hours of notice. Most firms we inventory couldn't meet that window today — not from carelessness, but because nobody's tested the process.

Do PMLA obligations really apply to my CA practice?
Yes, if you carry out specified transactions on a client's behalf — you're a reporting entity with your own due-diligence, record-keeping and FIU-IND reporting duties, alongside ICAI's own Code of Ethics confidentiality obligations.
What does "compliance-as-a-service" actually include?
A maintained control library mapped to the DPDP Act 2023 and CERT-In requirements, reviewed and updated as regulations change — not a one-time PDF you file away and forget.
We already have an IT person. Why bring in an MSP?
Most firms we inventory have one — and one person holding every password is itself one of the most common findings on a first visit. An MSP adds coverage, not a replacement for judgment.
Can you meet the CERT-In 6-hour reporting window?
That's exactly what our monitoring and incident-response process is built around — detection and an escalation path fast enough to make the 6-hour window realistic, not theoretical.
Can you take over from our current IT provider?
Yes. We start with an inventory and a condition report, so both sides know what's being taken on — including anything left unpatched by the outgoing provider.
