How Practice Protect works

Built exclusively for accounting firms.
Not adapted from enterprise security.

Generic security providers don’t know Xero, Karbon, XPM, or the ATO portal. Practice Protect was built around the apps accountants actually use — and the threats that specifically target them.

01


Access & Identity – Core™

MFA across every app your team uses. Single sign-on for Xero, MYOB, ATO, Karbon, and 6,000+ more. One-click offboarding that removes access in seconds, not days. Geo/IP controls that lock down access by location.

02


Email, Device & Backup — Complete™

AI-powered email filtering that catches the phishing attacks Microsoft misses. Endpoint security for every device — including BYO. M365 backup for Email, SharePoint and OneDrive. Immutable records for AML/CTF compliance.

03


Compliance & Breach Response

Done-for-you Compliance Hub — Documented Security System, Risk Assessment Matrix, Incident Response Plan, and privacy policy template. 40-minute breach response. NDB notification support within your 30-day window.

28,000+

6,000+

Average breach response time

“The question isn’t whether your firm faces these obligations. It’s whether you can produce the evidence to demonstrate you’ve met them — to the TPB, the OAIC, or a client who asks.”

PRACTICE PROTECT — 2026 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE MAP

Can your firm produce the evidence
if the TPB came knocking tomorrow?

Most accounting firms cannot. A Practice Protect specialist will show you exactly where your firm sits against every obligation in this map and what’s required to close the gaps.

This compliance map is an educational resource and is not legal advice. Regulatory requirements continue to evolve — verify with relevant regulatory bodies or legal counsel.
