IT for offices where trust comes first

For accountants, lawyers, consultancies and other service providers, IT is the backbone of the work. If a professional application isn’t working, it directly costs billable hours. And if client data is leaked, your reputation is at stake.

Stable, secure and accessible anywhere

NSO provides a stable environment in which your professional applications run optimally, client data is well protected and your team can work productively anywhere: at the office, at home and at the client’s premises.

Our approach

How we help your office

  • Professional applications that simply work

    Your applications for accounting, client files or CRM are indispensable. We make sure the environment around them is stable, and liaise with your software supplier when something comes up.

    • A stable environment for your professional applications
    • Coordination with your software supplier on updates and outages
    • Fast access, at the office and at home
    • Less downtime, so more billable hours
  • Confidential data well protected

    Clients trust you with their most sensitive information. A data breach affects your clients and your reputation. We set up your environment so that confidentiality is a matter of course.

    • Sign-in with two-step verification
    • Encrypted laptops and secure remote access
    • Permissions per team or client file, only for those who need them
    • Help with your GDPR obligations
  • Sharing documents securely with clients

    Emailing documents as attachments is insecure and hard to keep track of. With secure sharing links and a fixed way of working, you exchange documents with clients securely.

    • Secure links with an expiry date
    • Clients who can submit documents securely
    • An overview of what you have shared with whom
    • Less risk of an attachment sent to the wrong person
  • Productive anywhere, also when working hybrid

    Your team works at home, at the office or at a client's premises with the same files and applications, without compromising on security.

    • The same workplace at the office and at home
    • Meeting and collaborating in Microsoft Teams
    • Calling from your landline office number, also on the go
    • Security that travels with your laptop
  • Working smarter with AI, without risk

    AI can save a lot of time, for example when summarising meetings or drafting a first version. But with confidential client files, that has to be done responsibly.

    • First get permissions and sensitive client files in order
    • Copilot within your own secure environment
    • Clear agreements on what is and is not allowed
    • Starting with a small pilot group

In practice

A working day, at the office and at home

This is how your team stays productive anywhere, while client data remains protected.

Plan an introduction
  1. 08:45

    Sign in at home, get started straight away

    With two-step verification you sign in securely and open your professional application and client files, just like at the office.

  2. 11:00

    A client submits documents

    Using a secure link, the client uploads their documents directly into the right client file. No more attachments in your mailbox.

  3. 14:00

    The meeting has already been summarised

    After the client meeting, Copilot lists the agreements, within your own secure environment. You check them and record them in the client file.

  4. 17:30

    Everything securely closed

    Your laptop locks automatically when you walk away, and your data is secured in the backup overnight.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about IT for professional services firms

Is your question not listed? Feel free to call us, we are happy to think along with you.

How do I secure confidential client data at the office and at home?

With a combination of measures, including two-step verification, encrypted laptops, limited permissions per client file and secure remote access. We set this up as standard, so your team notices little of it in their daily work.

How do I share confidential documents securely with clients?

Instead of emailing documents as attachments, you use secure sharing links with an expiry date. Clients can also submit documents securely. That way you stay in control of what you share with whom.

Will our professional applications still work if we move to the cloud?

That depends on the application. Many professional applications already run in the cloud or work well with Microsoft 365. Together with your software supplier, we look at what the best solution is.

Is Copilot safe for confidential client files?

Copilot works within your own Microsoft 365 environment and with the information an employee already has access to. That is why we first make sure permissions on client files are set up properly, before you start using Copilot.

Do our professional applications and Adobe Creative Cloud work well with Microsoft 365?

In most cases, yes. We provide a stable environment, the right licences and secure links between your software packages and Microsoft 365. For creative work, we recommend workstations that are powerful enough for Adobe Creative Cloud.
