Identity and MFA hardening
Reduce account takeover risk by tightening authentication, privileged access, and offboarding hygiene.
SentinelForge
Cybersecurity and AI governance for modern accounting firms
Protect client data, reduce phishing and account takeover risk, and put guardrails around AI use—without hiring a full-time security lead.
Built for US accounting firms using Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, cloud apps, staff email, and client portals.
Why firms buy now
The risk is operational, not theoretical
Accounting firms handle sensitive tax, payroll, financial, and identity data. That makes them prime targets for phishing, credential theft, business email compromise, and access abuse.
At the same time, AI adoption is moving faster than policy. Staff are testing copilots, chat tools, and document workflows before leadership has defined acceptable use, review controls, or data boundaries.
Most firms do not need another generic IT vendor. They need a practical partner to identify the biggest security and AI governance gaps, prioritize what matters, and help clean it up.
What SentinelForge does
A focused security hardening and AI governance layer
We review the systems and workflows most likely to create loss, client-trust damage, or operational disruption—then deliver a clear remediation roadmap your team can actually execute.
Email and phishing exposure
Focus first on the practical attack paths most likely to hurt an accounting firm.
SaaS and app access review
Spot risky third-party permissions, unnecessary access, and avoidable admin sprawl.
AI governance review
Assess tool usage, policy gaps, and where sensitive client data could leak into unmanaged AI workflows.
