About Us
At CognITive Technology Services, LLC, we recognize that CPAs and Tax Preparers are vastly underserved when it comes to dedicated security compliance solutions.
Most security consulting firms focus on comprehensive frameworks designed for large corporations, which require substantial investments of both money and labor—resources that smaller organizations often can't justify. CognITive Technology Services was established precisely to address this gap. Our mission is clear: to empower small-to-medium sized CPA firms and Tax Preparers (fewer than 250 employees) by simplifying the process of meeting FTC Safeguards Rule compliance under the GLBA.
However, our goal transcends mere compliance. We are deeply committed to elevating the security posture of the broader CPA community. We work closely with each client, providing customized solutions and practical guidance to significantly strengthen their security practices and enhance overall protection of sensitive data.
