Most accounting firms didn’t choose to be in the IT business — they inherited it. A server in a closet, an aging backup drive, a support contract with someone who visits when things break. Every year the machine gets older, the risks get larger and the person who knew how it was set up gets harder to reach.
Meanwhile, the work has changed. Staff expect to work from home during busy season. Reviewers need the same files as preparers in another office. Regulators and insurers expect documented security controls. A physical server bought five years ago wasn’t designed for any of that.
MangoCloud provides Windows Server environments in secure US-based data centers, available as cost-efficient shared infrastructure or fully dedicated virtual machines. We size CPU, RAM and storage around your firm’s real workload, install and maintain the operating system, and manage the environment continuously.
Management is the point. Monitoring, patching, firewall administration, user management, performance tuning and backup are handled by our team as part of the service — with monthly reporting so you can see what’s being done on your behalf.
Tax preparers and many accounting firms are ‘financial institutions’ under the GLBA Safeguards Rule, required to maintain a written information security program with specific technical controls. Our environment provides several of those controls — MFA, encryption, monitoring, access management — as managed defaults you can reference in your program.
The IRS’s data-safeguarding guidance for tax professionals calls for protecting taxpayer data with measures including access controls, encryption and backup. Hosting with managed security addresses many of the technical items on that checklist, with documentation to show how.
Every firm with a PTIN is expected to maintain a WISP. We provide environment documentation — controls, backup schedules, access procedures — that your firm can incorporate into its plan. MangoCloud provides technology controls and documentation that support customer compliance programs. Regulatory compliance remains each firm’s responsibility, and requirements vary by firm and jurisdiction. Nothing on this page is legal advice — consult your compliance advisor for your firm’s specific obligations.

A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradise
Client records are the product of your firm’s work. We protect them with encrypted, immutable backups, offsite copies and recovery procedures we actually exercise.

Yes. Customer environments and backups run on US-based infrastructure. If your firm has specific data residency requirements, raise them during assessment and we'll document how they're met.
No provider can make your firm compliant by itself — compliance programs include policies, training and processes only your firm controls. What we provide are managed technical controls (MFA, encryption, monitoring, backup) that support and simplify your program, plus documentation you can reference in it.
Environments are logically separated with access controls and network segmentation, and dedicated (fully isolated) environments are available for firms that require them. The right model for your firm is confirmed during assessment.
We operate documented incident response procedures: detection and alerting, containment, investigation, remediation and customer communication. Affected customers are notified with facts and actions — not silence.
Yes. We regularly help customers answer technical questions on cyber-insurance applications and client security questionnaires by documenting the controls in place in their hosted environment.
No, and you should be skeptical of anyone who does. Layered controls substantially reduce risk, and monitoring shortens response time — but security is ongoing risk management, not a one-time guarantee. We'd rather be honest about that and show you the controls.
Bring your security questionnaire, your WISP checklist or your insurer’s application. We’ll walk through exactly which controls our environment provides.
