CYBER SECURITY FOR ACCOUNTING
Specialised cybersecurity solutions for accounting firms, ensuring compliance with financial regulations and protecting sensitive client information from evolving cyber threats.
Accounting firms handle some of the most sensitive financial data, making them attractive targets for cybercriminals. From client tax returns and financial statements to bank account details and personal information, your practice holds a treasure trove of data that hackers actively seek.
The accounting industry faces unique challenges including strict regulatory compliance requirements, client confidentiality obligations, and the need to maintain trust in an increasingly digital world. A single data breach can result in devastating consequences including regulatory fines, client loss, and reputational damage.
Common threats include phishing attacks targeting staff, ransomware that can lock critical financial systems, and social engineering attempts to gain access to client accounts. With remote work becoming standard, the attack surface has expanded significantly.

Founder & Director of Dalton Cyber
I've been in the IT game for a while now – it all started with a Computer Science degree back in 2001.
But that young graduate wasn't quite ready for the office environment and so, seduced by the prospect of adventure, I joined the British Army and enjoyed a varied 17-year career. Upon leaving the military, I returned to my first calling, completing an MSc in Cyber Security and finally entering the corporate world.
I cut my teeth working on a wide range of projects to improve the cyber-security of businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to large multi-nationals and UK Government departments. Then, in 2023 and eager for a new challenge, I founded Dalton Cyber.
I myself was once a victim of a violent crime. This, together with a sense of public service developed during my time in uniform, is what drives me to help others protect themselves and their businesses from the threat of cyber crime.
SATISFIED CLIENTS
We take pride in our work and our clients are our biggest advocates. Here's what they have to say about us.
My international media training company needed Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus for our work with a UK Government department. David guided us through the whole process with professionalism and with charm. We've worked with other consultants in this area before, but compared to David that was an off the shelf response.
David gives a much more personal service and was also more cost effective for us. I've already recommended him in real life to another business owner I work with and would like to do the same here.
I know a moderate amount about Cyber Security but I have a fellow Director for whom this field is a total mystery. David was able to flex his approach to work well with both of us and is very good at picking up whether what he's said has been fully understood. These communication skills, alongside a solid understanding of his field, set him apart from others in this sector and I will definitely be engaging his services again in future.
