Managed IT Services for Professional Services
Your firm sells expertise, and clients hand over their most sensitive information to get it. CyberDuo runs and secures the IT behind that trust: systems that keep billable work moving, client data locked down, and the security posture that increasingly decides who gets hired. We work with professional services firms across California.
Breaches involving a third party doubled year over year, and to your clients, you are the third party.

Of organizations now require vendors to prove compliance with standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST.

Clients now audit your security before they hire you.
Your reputation is the product, and clients increasingly check how you protect their data before they sign. With third-party breaches doubling year over year, your security posture has quietly become part of the sale, and part of the risk you carry.
Security is a sales gate now
Clients ask for a SOC 2 report or send a security questionnaire before they engage you. A weak or missing answer can lose the deal; a strong one can win it.
You hold the crown jewels
Strategy, financials, designs, deliverables, and client records all sit in your systems. To a client, your firm is a third party, and third-party breaches are the fastest-growing risk they track.
Downtime is unbilled time
When systems are down, billable work stops and deadlines slip. We build for uptime and answer fast, because utilization is the business.

The proof your clients increasingly demand
We build your environment around the standards clients use to vet you, and help you produce the evidence. Expand any to see how.
SOC 2 has become the default way to prove your controls to a client, and most companies now share a report to win business. We hold our own operations to SOC 2 Type II, so we know what an auditor looks for, and we build the controls, policies, and evidence that get you to a clean report.
Before they hire you, clients send questionnaires and vendor risk assessments. We help you answer them accurately and back the answers with real controls, turning a procurement hurdle into a reason you win the work. A valid SOC 2 report satisfies the large majority of these questionnaires on its own.
Some clients, especially larger or international ones, ask about ISO 27001 or NIST CSF alignment. We map your program to these frameworks so you can answer with evidence rather than assurances.
You hold personal data on clients, candidates, and employees, which brings California privacy law into play. We build data handling that lines up with CCPA and CPRA.
Engineering, architecture, and consulting firms that serve the Department of Defense or its contractors fall under CMMC and NIST SP 800-171. Where that applies, we assess against the controls and build a compliant, documented environment.
Insurers now require MFA, endpoint detection and response, tested backups, email security, and an incident response plan to bind or renew a policy. We put those controls in place so your renewal is straightforward and your premium reflects it.

How the work differs across the firms we support
How we work with each. Expand the one that fits your firm.
Consultants carry clients’ most sensitive strategy and financial data across laptops and travel. We secure that data, keep a mobile team productive, and give you the SOC 2 posture enterprise clients expect.
Tax and advisory firms hold financial records and PII under seasonal deadline pressure. We keep systems available through busy season, protect client data, and support the written security plan expected of firms handling taxpayer information.
AEC firms run heavy design files and project data across offices and job sites, sometimes on government work. We keep large-file workflows fast, protect designs, and handle CMMC where federal projects require it.
Agencies hold client assets, campaign data, and audience information under tight deadlines. We protect client material, meet the security terms in client contracts, and keep creative teams moving.
Staffing firms hold large volumes of candidate PII and run high-volume email, prime conditions for BEC and data theft. We lock down identity and email and keep your ATS available.
Brokers handle client financial and personal data and answer to carrier security expectations. We protect that data, harden email and payment workflows, and keep your agency systems running.
Real estate moves money and documents under deadline, which makes wire fraud a constant threat. We secure email and verify-payment workflows and protect tenant and client data.
Technical firms are held to a high security bar by the clients whose systems they touch. We give you a defensible posture, SOC 2 readiness, and co-managed support that scales with projects.
Design and research firms hold client IP and unpublished work. We protect that data, keep collaboration secure, and support the tools and large files your teams depend on.
PR firms hold embargoed announcements and sensitive client information that cannot leak. We secure communication and documents and keep a fast-moving team online.
