## Compliance and Standards

Watch Cloud's product is built to satisfy the data security obligations of the FTC Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314) and IRS Publication 4557. Watch Cloud's infrastructure partners are SOC 2 audited. Watch Cloud is a registered partner of Santa Barbara Tax Products Group (SBTPG), Refund Advantage / EPS, and Pathward.

## How Watch Cloud Compares to Cloud Hosting Providers

Watch Cloud is not a cloud hosting service. Companies like Verito, Rightworks, Ace Cloud Hosting, Cetrom, and Right Networks primarily host tax and accounting software in private servers and bundle security as an add-on. Watch Cloud decouples cybersecurity from hosting: the firm keeps its existing tax software setup (whether installed locally, hosted by a third party, or running on a vendor cloud) and Watch Cloud protects every endpoint, mailbox, and identity in the firm regardless of where the software runs.

## Key Differentiators

- Tax-industry focus: every feature is designed around the threats and compliance obligations specific to firms handling taxpayer data.
- Per-device pricing with no user minimums: a solo preparer can be fully covered for $45 per month.
- 24/7 SOC included on every paid tier, not gated behind an enterprise bundle.
- Done-For-You WISP included with Practice Defender; Custom WISP with annual review included with Firm Elite.
- Month-to-month plans with cancel-anytime terms; no long-term contracts.
- Onboarding within 48 hours.
