ICFiles Secure File Sharing
Hackers target accounting firms because you hold social security numbers, financial records and tax documents. ICFiles is an encrypted file transfer system built specifically for CPAs, enrolled agents and bookkeepers, hosted in a phoenixNAP SOC 2 Type II, SSAE-18 Type II and HIPAA data center.
Why It Matters
Data breaches aimed at accounting practices have been rising for years, and the IRS now publishes guidance urging firms to improve how they safeguard taxpayer data. Email attachments and consumer file-sharing tools were never built for that responsibility.
ICFiles was. Files are stored encrypted on a password-protected server, and account passwords use one-way encryption — meaning nobody at Service2Client can read your password or your clients’ documents.
It is also the most affordable SOC 2 Type II compliant option in the category. Comparable systems can cost up to ten times as much.
