A breached client loses their financial records, their customer data, and their trust in you. Guardlyne gives you a simple way to protect them before it happens — with no technical knowledge required.

The average Canadian SMB cyber breach costs $200,000 CAD including breach response, legal fees, regulatory fines, customer notification, and lost business. Many do not survive it financially.
Your client's QuickBooks, payroll data, banking records, and tax information are exactly what ransomware attackers target. A breach means their books are gone — or held hostage.
Under PIPEDA, your clients must report material breaches to the Privacy Commissioner and notify affected customers. Most do not know this — until after it is too late.
"What do we do?" That call comes to their most trusted advisor — you. Without Guardlyne, you have no answer. With it, you already helped them avoid the call.
You do not need to become a cybersecurity expert. You just need to know about Guardlyne.
"I found a tool that grades your business cybersecurity like a credit score. It connects to your Microsoft 365 and takes 5 minutes. It gives you an insurance-ready PDF. Want to try it free?"
They go to guardlyne.ca, create a free account, and connect their Microsoft 365. Guardlyne scans 12 security areas and generates their grade — no IT support needed.
A client who feels protected, a relationship that deepens, and a trusted advisor reputation that no competitor can easily replicate. Plus peace of mind that you tried to help before the breach.
You become the advisor who protects their entire business — not just their books. That is a much harder relationship to replace at tax season.
When a client gets breached and asks why you never mentioned cybersecurity risk, you can say you did — and you offered them a solution.
One sentence referral. Client signs up themselves. Grade generated automatically. You did the right thing in under 60 seconds.
Under PIPEDA, accountants who handle client data have their own compliance obligations. Guardlyne helps your clients meet theirs — which reduces your exposure too.
"Are we protected from hackers?" That question is coming more often. Guardlyne gives you an answer — and a tool — rather than a referral to someone else.
We are building a formal referral program for Canadian accountants and bookkeepers. Email us to get on the early access list.
An accountant mentions Guardlyne at a year-end review. The client connects their Microsoft 365. Grade: D. Backups never tested. Three weeks later the client is hit with ransomware. Because backups were fixed the week before, they restore in 4 hours instead of losing everything. The accountant's relationship becomes unbreakable.
A bookkeeper refers Guardlyne to a small law firm. Grade: C. No DMARC record — anyone could send emails pretending to be the firm. The firm adds DMARC in 30 minutes. Two months later a competitor firm in the same city suffers a wire fraud attack through exactly this method. The law firm escapes it.
Email us to discuss a referral partnership or try Guardlyne yourself — free for 14 days, no credit card required.
