DFW compliance & cyber-insurance readiness

Compliance and insurance readiness, done for you, in plain English.

Readyfi is the “compliance quarterback” for small tax, healthcare, and professional-services firms across Dallas–Fort Worth. We produce the documentation, run the assessments, and coordinate your IT provider — so you get compliant and stay insurance-ready without hiring a security team.

Built for Tax & accounting firms Healthcare practices Professional services

Serving CPAs, tax preparers, bookkeepers, medical & dental practices, and professional-services firms in Frisco, Plano, Dallas and across the greater Dallas–Fort Worth area.

Why this matters now

The rules changed. Most small firms haven’t caught up.

Three pressures are landing on small businesses at once — and “we’re too small to be a target” is no longer an answer that regulators or insurers will accept.

You’re now a “financial institution.”

The FTC Safeguards Rule now treats tax preparers, accountants, and bookkeepers as financial institutions. That means a documented Written Information Security Plan (WISP) is required — and the IRS expects every preparer to have one. Non-compliance carries real penalties.

There’s no “small practice” exemption.

HIPAA Security Rule expectations for small medical, dental, and behavioral-health practices keep tightening. Being a small office doesn’t exempt you — you still need a documented Security Risk Analysis and the policies to back it up.

Insurers want proof before they’ll cover you.

Cyber insurers no longer take your word for it. They require documented evidence of specific security controls before they’ll issue or renew a policy — and applications that can’t show it get denied or repriced.

Questions

Plain answers to common questions

If you prepare tax returns or handle clients’ financial information, yes. Under the FTC Safeguards Rule, firms like tax preparers, accountants, and bookkeepers are treated as financial institutions and are required to maintain a written information security program — a WISP. The IRS also expects every paid preparer to have one. We build yours for you and keep it current.

It’s a federal rule requiring certain businesses that handle consumer financial information to put a written security program in place and actually follow it — including a risk assessment, safeguards for the data, oversight of vendors, staff training, and a designated person responsible for the program. Its scope was expanded to clearly include tax and accounting firms. In short: if you handle client financial data, you need documented security, not just good intentions.

Yes. We’re the compliance layer, not a replacement for your IT provider. We tell your existing IT company or MSP exactly what needs to change, document it, and verify it’s done. Most of our clients keep their current IT relationship — we just make it more effective and accountable.

It depends on your size and how much is already in place, but most small firms move from kickoff to a complete documentation set in a matter of weeks, not months. We start with the items that reduce your risk and unblock your insurance application first, then work through the rest in a clear sequence.

We use fixed-scope, productized packages, so you know what you’re paying up front — no open-ended hourly billing. The right package depends on your firm and which obligations apply to you, so the fastest way to get an accurate number is a free 20-minute readiness call. We’ll tell you what you need and what it costs, with no pressure.

No. Readyfi provides compliance documentation and readiness consulting — we are not a law firm and we do not provide legal advice. Regulatory requirements vary by situation, and for legal interpretation you should consult a qualified attorney. What we do is make you demonstrably ready and keep the paperwork straight.
