Your firm is at risk

Accounting firms — like yours — are enticing targets for phishing and other online attacks because they handle large amounts of sensitive client data. Here’s how phishing works:

1. Fraudsters register a domain — often for as little as $20 — that closely matches your website’s.
2. They then use this domain to create fake websites and email addresses that look like yours.
3. Finally, they contact your clients, asking them to log in to “your” website and submit sensitive personal information.
   

.cpa protects your clients — and your firm

• .cpa is a restricted domain. CPA-verified registration means fraudsters can’t buy domains.
• .cpa makes all registrant information private, such as email addresses and other personal data, to help protect you from fraudsters.
• A .cpa domain, coupled with other proactive security measures, can make going after your firm — and your clients — more trouble than it’s worth.
• A more secure domain also helps protect sensitive client information that resides on your firm’s online portal.
  

.cpa builds client trust

Accounting is a competitive field. .cpa can give your firm an edge over the competition.

• It shows clients your firm is serious about protecting their security and privacy.
• It’s a mark of distinction signaling that your firm has been verified by the AICPA.
