In professional services, your files are your firm’s lifeblood. Whether it’s a high-stakes litigation strategy, sensitive tax records, or proprietary corporate data, your clients trust you to keep their “crown jewels” safe. But in 2026, that trust is under constant siege.
A “single layer” of security—like a standard firewall or basic antivirus—is no longer a defense; it’s a liability. If a hacker bypasses that one layer, they have the keys to your entire practice. To protect your reputation and your livelihood, you need a Multi-Layered Defense.
At CGB Tech Solutions, we don’t just offer “IT support.” We provide a sophisticated, enterprise-grade security stack specifically designed for the high-compliance needs of small law firms and accounting practices.
The CGB Security Stack: Protection in Every Direction
We believe in Defense-in-Depth. Our stack is built on the principle that if one layer is challenged, three more are standing ready to stop the threat. Here is how we build a fortress around your client files:
Layer 1: The “Identity” Shield (MFA & Zero Trust)
Passwords are the weakest link. We implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across every single application—not just your email. By adopting a Zero Trust model, we ensure that every login attempt is verified, monitored, and authenticated, making stolen credentials virtually useless to a hacker.
Layer 2: AI-Powered Endpoint Defense (EDR)
Traditional antivirus looks for past threats. Our Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) uses predictive analytics and machine learning to stop future ones. It monitors the “behavior” of your computers in real-time. If a file starts acting like ransomware, the EDR kills the process instantly before a single document can be encrypted.
Layer 3: The 24/7 Human Element (SOC & MDR)
Technology alone isn’t enough. Every CGB Tech client is backed by our 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC). Live analysts monitor your network around the clock, hunting for anomalies that software might miss. Our Managed Detection and Response (MDR) means we don’t just alert you to a problem—we take immediate action to neutralize it.
Layer 4: Data Resilience (Immutable Backups)
If the unthinkable happens, your “fail-safe” must be ironclad. We provide Immutable Backups—data copies that cannot be changed, deleted, or encrypted by ransomware. Your files are air-gapped and encrypted, ensuring that “recovery” isn’t a hope; it’s a guarantee.
Why “Good Enough” is a Financial Risk
For professional services, the cost of a breach isn’t just the IT bill to fix it. It’s the ethical violations, the professional liability lawsuits, and the loss of client trust that takes a decade to build and ten seconds to destroy.
Furthermore, 2026 insurance underwriters are now auditing for this exact stack. If you cannot prove you have 24/7 monitoring (MDR) and immutable backups, you risk a coverage denial that could leave your firm personally responsible for the millions of dollars in damages a breach can cause.
The CGB Tech Advantage
We specialize in the “Professional Services Standard.” We understand that your team needs to stay productive, which is why our security stack is designed to be invisible to your staff but impenetrable to outsiders. We provide the Compliance Engine you need to satisfy auditors, insurers, and—most importantly—your clients.
Your clients trust you with their data. Trust CGB Tech to protect it.
