In a word, yes.  Practice Protect allows accounting teams to quickly and easily access all their cloud apps via one master password (plus a single two-factor code, if desired).

Where possible, we’ve also built deep integrations (the technical term is via SAML/OpenID) with many popular accounting apps that reduce the need to manage so many multi-factor codes.

We integrate with all popular accounting apps including Xero, QuickBooks, MYOB, BGL, Class, FYI Docs, NowInfinity, Practice Ignition, SuiteFiles, Nimbus, Hubdoc (plus over 50+ others)

In today’s digital age, password management alone is not cybersecurity. An effective strategy must be comprehensive in nature, spanning from technology and application access to compliance and people. The risk vectors within your business are many, and that’s why we built Practice Protect. With advanced protection that’s built for the modern accounting firm, Practice protect is a superior all-in-one platform to control access to client data, manage risk, and stay compliant. The result: More control over systems access within your company, and greater peace of mind for your clients who put their most sensitive data in your hands.

Data Security isn’t just a tech issue. It’s a staff issue, a legal issue, and a client issue. All of these issues form the basis of the three Hubs in Practice Protect.

The Device Hub, Email Hub and Access Hub all work together to help small businesses deal with these.

While data security isn’t just a tech issue, we still work closely with different IT providers to provide an overall solution for our mutual accounting firm clients and make sure that our solution works for our clients’ IT environments.

Generally, Practice Protect will “play nice” with your existing IT infrastructure.  As part of our onboarding process, we conduct an analysis to ensure your configuration is appropriate for your firm and your IT environment.
