FTC Safeguards Rule · IRS Pub 4557

Compliance isn't optional. We make it effortless.

If your firm prepares taxes or handles client financial data, federal law requires a documented security program. Moreno IT builds it, runs it, and keeps the paperwork audit-ready.

Written Information Security Plan

A WISP is mandatory for every tax preparer. We draft yours, tailor it to your firm, and review it annually.

Multi-Factor Authentication

Required under the Safeguards Rule. We deploy MFA across email, tax software, and remote access.

Encryption in Transit & at Rest

Client data is encrypted on every drive, every email, and every transfer — no exceptions.

Continuous Monitoring

Round-the-clock monitoring and logging that satisfies regulators and catches threats early.

Staff Security Training

Annual training and simulated phishing tests — documented for your compliance file.

Incident Response Plan

A documented, tested plan for breach notification and recovery — before you ever need it.

We speak accounting, not just IT.

  • 01

    Built for your industry

  • 02

    Tax-season ready

    Priority support and change freezes from January through April, because downtime on April 14th isn't an option.

  • 03

    Flat, predictable pricing

    One monthly rate covers support, security, and compliance. No surprise invoices, no per-ticket games.

  • 04

    Audit-ready documentation

    If the IRS or FTC ever asks, your security program is documented, current, and ready to hand over.

  • 05

    Local to Hillsboro, Oregon

    We're based right here in Hillsboro and serve local businesses across the Portland metro — onsite when you need hands on hardware, remote when you don't.
