Think of IT Like Insurance: Prepare Now

We know “the likelihood of a hack is low.” But if it happens, costs can be crushing. Consider: cyberattacks can trigger legal fines (e.g. IRS rules) up to $100,000 and potential lawsuits.  Every minute of downtime also hurts your bottom line – downtime costs an average of $5,600 per minute for businesses and counts as lost revenue (every offline minute is a client bill you can’t make.  Better to spend a little on protection now than a fortune after a breach.

  • Rare but costly: Even if breaches are uncommon for small to mid-sized firms, one incident could shut you down for days and cost tens of thousands
  • Peace of mind: Think of your 20-Point Checklist as a security airbag – it may never be used, but if you do crash (a hack), you won’t be flattened.
Just as you’d insure your car or health, invest in IT security basics for your firm. The first step is easy – download our checklist and tick off each item with confidence.

Stop Phishing in its Tracks: Train Your Team

Small-to-midsize firms ARE prime targets for sophisticated phishing. According to experts, phishing remains the #1 cyberthreat to accounting firms. Hackers now use AI and deepfakes to craft emails that look exactly like they’re from a trusted colleague (maybe even from you!). A slip of a team member clicking a malicious link could let a hacker into your entire network. The good news: most breaches start with user error, and the fix is training and vigilance.
  • AI-driven phishing attacks have surged by 856% recently, making fake invoices and spoofed emails harder to spot.
  • Regular, bite-sized training teaches your staff to spot scams and report them. CISA notes that many breaches are avoidable with simple awareness training.
  • We run fake phishing drills so your team learns by doing. Over time, your people become the first line of defense instead of the weakest link.
By equipping employees with know-how, you make phishing a minor annoyance instead of an existential threat. Remember: 74% of data breaches are due to human error. With good habits and training, your staff act as a shield around the business.

We Power Your Practice: Proactive IT Support

We aren’t just giving you a PDF and sending you on your way. We can provide your IT support, too. Our goal is to keep your firm running smoothly so your team can focus on clients instead of tech headaches. Statistics show the value of this: an average IT outage costs ~$5,600/minute in lost productivity. Every minute your people wrestle with a frozen computer or misbehaving software is a minute wasted.
  • 24/7 monitoring and fast remote fixes mean most issues are solved before you notice. For example, with remote support we can often restore your systems in minutes, far faster (and cheaper) than calling in external help.
  • By outsourcing IT, your staff spend their days serving clients, not troubleshooting printers.
  • We handle updates, backups, antivirus, firewalls and more. Proactive maintenance and automated security patches prevent most outages and breaches before they happen.
In short, we’re the IT experts that make your practice better. No more “Who do I call when the Wi-Fi is down?” or “Why won’t my device work?” Nimbl’s team acts like part of your staff, so no one is stuck on hold or in the weeds.
