Client confidentiality and access control
Remote work expanded the attack surface. M365 defaults and Citrix estates often lack the conditional access and logging clients expect.

Technology for professional services firms in Brisbane & SEQ
Legal, accounting, and consulting firms handle sensitive client data, hybrid workforces, and compliance expectations — often on infrastructure that grew ad hoc. North Ark helps professional services businesses modernise without the six-figure consultancy overhead.
Law and accounting firms, management consultancies, financial advisory practices — typically 15–80 staff across Brisbane and SEQ.
Book a Discovery CallCommon pressures
Practice management vs reality
Off-the-shelf tools force workarounds. Partners lose visibility into matter status, billing lag, and who owns the next action.
AI pressure without a trusted guide
Competitors talk about AI-assisted delivery. Most firms know they are behind but cannot risk experiments on client data.
