Security is not an add-on. It is part of the program
Device-level encryption and patching
We standardize images and enforce encryption and patch cycles so laptops, desktops, and servers meet strict financial compliance standards against common threats.
Microsoft 365 security configuration
From conditional access to encrypted email and data loss prevention, we configure Microsoft 365 to safely handle tax documents and client financial data in your Portland environment.
Backup and disaster recovery planning
Backups are monitored, tested, and matched to your firm's recovery objectives so your Portland office can survive outages or ransomware without losing a single tax file.
MFA and identity protections
Modern identity controls, MFA, and least-privilege practices significantly reduce risk from stolen credentials and phishing attacks targeting accounting firms.
No need to ask for it, it is already in motion.

No. While this page focuses on IT support for CPA firms in Portland, we work with accounting professionals across the Portland metro and the broader Pacific Northwest, including Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Lake Oswego, and Vancouver, WA. If your people work in or around Portland, or are fully remote, we can typically support them.

Yes. Many firms use Heroic in a co-managed model. We can handle help desk, security operations, and infrastructure while your internal IT focuses on specialized accounting software, business projects, or strategic initiatives. The goal is to amplify your existing talent, not replace it.

How long does it take to get started?
Most new CPA IT support Portland engagements move from discovery to active support within a few weeks.

You will receive a clear onboarding timeline before we begin—ideally scheduled outside of your busiest tax deadlines.
-
What is included in your IT support contract for accounting firms?
Every engagement is tailored, but most Portland CPA clients include around-the-clock monitoring, help desk support, endpoint and server management, tax software support liaison, Microsoft 365 administration, backup and disaster recovery planning, and ongoing compliance improvements, all guided by regular vCIO check-ins.

How will this IT support improve our firm's security and compliance?
Because security is integrated into our managed IT program, you benefit from multiple layers of protection working together to meet IRS and FTC Safeguards requirements. Encryption, patching, MFA, email security, identity management, and backups all support one another so your Portland firm is better prepared for everyday threats and audits. We also revisit your security posture regularly as your business, compliance mandates, and the threat landscape evolve.
