CISSP-QUALIFIED GOOGLE WORKSPACE AUDITS FOR ACCOUNTING & BOOKKEEPING FIRMS
Your Clients Trust You With Their Numbers. Don't Leave The Inbox On Default.
Tax file numbers, BAS lodgements, client financials — it all moves through Google Workspace. Default settings weren't built for that level of exposure, especially in the run-up to EOFY. SecureMyEmail runs a specialist audit of your Workspace environment, checked against the CIS Google Workspace Benchmark and CISA SCuBA baselines, and hands you a plain-English report on exactly what to fix, in order of priority.
THE RISK YOU CAN'T SEE
One Compromised Login Could Send A Fake Invoice To Every Client
Accounting firms are a favourite Business Email Compromise target — a compromised login used to send fraudulent invoices to your entire client list, a silent forwarding rule leaking tax file numbers and financial records, or a phishing email timed perfectly for EOFY chaos. Most generalist IT providers manage uptime and support tickets — not dedicated security audits. If nobody has specifically checked your Google Workspace against a recognised security baseline, you don't actually know where you stand.

You get the report
A plain-English findings report, prioritised by risk, so you know exactly what to fix first — no jargon, no scare tactics.
IS THIS YOU?
Built For Accounting & Bookkeeping Firms Without An In-House Security Team
- You're an accounting or bookkeeping practice with 10–50 staff on Google Workspace
- You handle tax file numbers, BAS or financial records, or client banking details daily
- You don't have a dedicated in-house IT security specialist
- You want a clear, independent check — not another subscription to manage
Not for: Individuals wanting help with a personal Gmail account, or large enterprises with an existing in-house security team.
COMPLIANCE CONTEXT
What Accounting & Bookkeeping Practices Are Expected To Have In Place
Handling tax file numbers and client financial data brings obligations from the OAIC, the Tax Practitioners Board and the ATO — and most of them come back to who can access your mail and files, and how that access is controlled.
Privacy Act 1988 & the Australian Privacy Principles
APP 11 requires you to take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference and unauthorised access. Mailbox access controls, MFA, external sharing settings and forwarding rules are all part of those reasonable steps.
Privacy (Tax File Number) Rule 2015
TFN information carries additional handling requirements on top of the APPs: it must be protected against unauthorised access and securely destroyed when no longer required by law.
Notifiable Data Breaches scheme
If personal information is accessed without authorisation and serious harm is likely, you must notify affected individuals and the OAIC. Knowing whether audit logging and alerting are switched on is the difference between detecting a breach and finding out from a customer.
TPB Code of Professional Conduct
Registered tax and BAS agents must take reasonable care to protect client information and, since 2024, disclose matters that could affect a client's decision to engage you — including significant data incidents.
ATO Operational Framework expectations
Practices accessing ATO Online Services are expected to enforce strong authentication, control staff access and log activity. Weak Workspace or 365 identity settings undercut all three.
General information about obligations commonly relevant to Australian businesses in this sector — not legal advice. The audit reports on how your email and collaboration environment is configured against recognised security baselines; it does not certify you as compliant with any of these frameworks, and your own obligations depend on your size, structure and services.
WHO'S BEHIND THE AUDIT
No Client Case Studies Yet — Full Transparency Instead
As a new service, we don't have client testimonials yet — but every audit is run personally by Neil Frick, a CISSP-qualified auditor with over 40 years in Information Technology, using the same tools and baselines trusted by security-focused MSPs across Australia. His background includes work in highly secure environments, with military clearance to Top Secret level. We'd rather tell you that plainly than invent a review that isn't real.
THE PERSON DOING THE WORK
Meet Neil Frick
I've spent over 40 years in Information Technology, including time in highly secure environments with military clearance to Top Secret level. I'm CISSP-qualified, and I founded SecureMyEmail because too many small and mid-sized Australian businesses assume their generalist IT provider is “handling security” — when in reality, nobody has run a dedicated audit against a recognised baseline. Every audit that goes out under this business has been run personally by me, using the same tools and standards trusted by security-focused MSPs. No jargon, no scare tactics — just a clear report on where you stand.
