Once considered an optional extra, cyber security is now a non-negotiable for accountancy practices. The sector has emerged as a prime target for modern-day cyber criminals, thanks in part to a large volume of held personal and financial data. But cyber-readiness continues to lag, with few practices prepared for the worst.

When it comes to insurance, the cyber landscape is shifting. It is becoming increasingly difficult for practices to obtain cyber insurance unless they can meet certain criteria, such as multi-factor authentication.
