Black Bottle IT is Joining the PASBA Spring Summit in Clearwater, Helping Firms Prepare for AI.

Prepare for AI Integration and Security

As accounting firms increasingly adopt AI-powered tools for tasks like automated bookkeeping, anomaly detection, and tax preparation, securing these systems becomes critical.  The Black Bottle IT team is poised to share with PASBA attendees why the time is now to prepare and implement the following: 

• Implement strong data governance practices before feeding financial data into AI systems
• Verify that AI vendors have robust security measures and compliance certifications
• Create clear policies regarding what client data can be processed by AI tools
• Regularly audit AI outputs for accuracy and potential security issues
• Establish boundaries for AI usage to maintain human oversight of sensitive financial decisions

Strong cybersecurity fundamentals directly impact your AI readiness.

Secure data practices ensure AI systems have clean, protected information to work with, while proper access controls prevent unauthorized AI usage. As accounting AI tools become more sophisticated, your cybersecurity infrastructure will determine how safely and effectively you can leverage these powerful technologies.

Where is your Organization in its Cybersecurity Journey

“The majority of our team is hybrid. We provide cyber awareness training and believe we protect PII well. However, it’s time to renew our cyber insurance, and I’m not sure we can get a new policy because we don’t have written and executable policies and procedures.”

By implementing these cybersecurity practices, you’ll significantly reduce your risk exposure while demonstrating to clients that protecting their financial information is a top priority—whether that information is handled by humans or emerging AI systems.
