Oman's AML/CFT Law (RD 30/2016) doesn't single out banks — it names public accountants and auditors directly as Designated Non-Financial Businesses (DNFBPs). Customer due diligence, record-keeping and suspicious-transaction reporting are real, standing obligations for your practice, not a checkbox a bank has to worry about.
Most firms we inventory in Muscat are handling this with goodwill and a shared spreadsheet rather than a system built for it. That gap is usually invisible right up until OCERT asks a question you can't answer quickly, or a client asks what happens to their data if your laptop is stolen.
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're a Designated Non-Financial Business
Oman's AML/CFT Law classifies public accountants and auditors as DNFBPs — with real customer due-diligence, record-keeping and suspicious-transaction reporting duties, not optional best practice.
Client personal data has its own law
Consent, data-subject rights and breach notification apply to every client file that contains personal data — which, for an accounting practice, is most of them.
Can you actually report an incident?
National incident-reporting timelines assume you can detect and report quickly. Most firms we inventory can't — not from carelessness, but because nobody's tested the process.

Do I really need to worry about AML/CFT as an accounting firm?
Yes — Oman's AML/CFT Law (RD 30/2016) names accountants and auditors directly as Designated Non-Financial Businesses. Due diligence, record-keeping and suspicious-transaction reporting aren't optional extras.
What does "compliance-as-a-service" actually include?
A maintained control library mapped to Oman PDPL and DNFBP obligations, 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.
How fast can you respond during a client emergency?
We commit to a response time for the call and a scheduled visit or remote session — not an unqualified "within the hour" promise we can't actually hold on the busiest day of filing season.
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.
