Penetration Testing for Accounting Systems
Our simulated cyber attacks identify vulnerabilities in your accounting software, client portals, and financial systems before criminals can exploit them. We go beyond automated scans with manual testing techniques used by real attackers.
Why Accounting Firms Need Specialized Pen Testing
Generic penetration tests often miss financial application vulnerabilities. Our tests specifically target:
- Tax preparation software configurations
- Client document upload portals
- Banking integration points
- Payroll system access controls
