Server security for CA firms and small offices
Your Windows server may be open right now.
Anyone can try to walk in.
Your server holds your business: client records, Tally data, tax and GST files. If staff reach it over Remote Desktop from home, the same login screen may be open to the whole internet.
Prixl Warden is built for CA firms, Tally servers and small offices that run one Windows Server and have no in-house IT team. It watches every sign-in, warns you in plain English and helps you close the gaps.
Three ways a break-in hurts a business
Automated tools scan the internet for Windows servers with Remote Desktop open. When they find one, they try password after password, day and night. One guessed password can be enough. Here is what can follow.
Threat 1
Data Theft
Your clients trust you with PAN details, bank statements and tax records. Once an attacker is inside your server, they can copy all of it.
Client records and financial data leaked or sold. Your firm’s reputation damaged overnight.
Warden spots password-guessing attacks, both fast floods and slow, low-and-slow campaigns, and emails you. Switch on auto-block and it also blocks the attacking IP in Windows Firewall.
Threat 2
Ransomware – Your Data, Encrypted or Deleted
Ransomware often gets in through a guessed or stolen login. Once inside, it encrypts your files and demands payment. Some attackers skip the ransom and simply delete everything.
Months of work, gone. In filing season, that means missed deadlines too.
Guard Secure Access puts Remote Desktop behind an encrypted tunnel, so only staff you invite can reach the login screen. Windows Firewall then blocks password-guessing tools on the internet before they reach the sign-in screen.
Threat 3 – The One Most Businesses Have Never Thought About
Your Server Used for Illegal Activity
Attackers can use your server to send threats, post extremist content and run illegal operations. All from your server, your IP address, with your business’s name in the logs.
You didn’t do anything wrong, but your server did it in your name.
Warden alerts you to sign-ins outside office hours, new admin accounts, new services and scheduled tasks, and a cleared audit log: the footprint of a server being misused by an outsider.
What Prixl Warden does
Monitors 24×7
Watches your Windows server’s security events around the clock: sign-ins, account changes, new services, firewall changes.
Blocks Attackers
Switch on auto-block and Warden adds a Windows Firewall rule for each attacking IP. Office (LAN) addresses are never auto-blocked.
Daily and Weekly Reports
An evening digest on days with something to report, and a Monday summary of who signed in, when and for how long.
Alerts in Plain English
Serious events are emailed straight away, with what happened and why it matters. No jargon.
Guard – Secure Access
Staff connect through an encrypted tunnel, then Remote Desktop can be closed to the internet. No static IP needed. How Guard works
Hardens Your Server
A 29-point security audit. On paid plans, 21 of the checks have a one-click fix from the dashboard, each with an undo.
Why it’s different
Most security software is built for large companies, with the price and complexity to match. Warden is built for a CA practice or small office with one server, no in-house IT, and a local IT vendor who sets things up once and moves on.
