Accountants handle a significant amount of privileged client information and access – one of the most valuable sources of data for cybercriminals. The information you collect is critical to your day-to-day operation, so the technology you use needs to be both robust and secure.
GCIT provides IT Security and Support for Gold Coast accounting firms that need reliable systems, fast help, and strong protection for client data. We support the Microsoft 365 and accounting applications your team relies on, and we’ll liaise with software vendors when issues need escalation.
With security-first managed services and clear standards for remote and offshore teams, we help your practice stay productive, compliant, and resilient against phishing and account compromise.
We engaged GCIT in April 2018 to move our server to the cloud and manage our IT needs. The advantages of this move have been enormous, especially from a security point of view. And their service is efficient and timely. If you are after a secure managed IT service I highly recommend GCIT.

Your team needs secure access to email, files, and collaboration tools. We harden identity and devices, reduce risk with proven baselines, and back it up with 24/7 security monitoring, without slowing people down.
Modern accounting teams often work across the office, home, and offshore, so we set up secure Microsoft 365 collaboration that keeps everyone productive without exposing client data.
Need an IT Team with an understanding of the applications Accountants use every day and their vendors?
GCIT technicians provide IT Support for all common accounting tools and services.
Enhanced security for in-office, work-from-home and off-shore accounting teams.
Accounting firms are a prime target for phishing, email compromise and payment redirection scams because your inboxes contain sensitive client data and high-trust conversations. Email compromise and BEC-related fraud are consistently among the most common cybercrime types, and many breaches still happen through simple human error (including personal information being sent to the wrong person).
Once an attacker gains access, they can impersonate a trusted party and manipulate finance workflows (for example, changing bank details or redirecting an ATO refund) in a way that looks completely legitimate to staff.

We help your team collaborate and implement best practice security measures. Alongside our 5-star IT support, we protect and support your IT environment
in five key areas. These five areas are scored against best-practice recommendations by Microsoft and your score in each category contributes to your Microsoft Secure Score.
Each month we provide you with a report on your Microsoft Secure Score and the measures we’ve taken to improve your security posture.
On average, our clients’ Microsoft Secure Scores are seven times higher than the global average.
Our layered security tools protect your computers and mobile devices from unauthorised access and control. We apply policies to devices that hold your company data to ensure it’s encrypted and can be wiped when necessary.
We apply controls to monitor and protect your data from unauthorised access or deletion. Sensitive data types can be prevented from leaving the organisation via insecure methods, and suspicious behaviours are highlighted and investigated.
We secure your accounts against compromise using multi-factor authentication, single-sign on and conditional access. This ensures that your data can only be accessed by the right people on the right devices.
We actively monitor your servers and network infrastructure for anomalies. We keep your operating systems, core applications and network devices patched and up to date so your business stays productive and protected.
We secure your productivity apps with Microsoft Cloud App Security. Monitoring for access by infrequent countries, impossible travel activities and unusual sign in properties.
Our 5 star support team provides expert service, advice and end-user security training. Our quarterly IT strategy reviews help you stay on top of issues and learn how best to utilise your technology.
