What examiners actually check

Where this usually breaks down

Most small and mid-size firms don’t fail an audit because they’re careless — they fail because Drake Tax runs on a front-desk PC or an aging in-office server with no documentation trail. There’s no audit log, no written encryption standard, and no answer to “who else has access to this machine.” None of that is a software problem; it’s an infrastructure problem.

Hosting doesn’t replace your WISP — you still need one — but it gives you something concrete to reference in it. A SOC 2 Type 2 report and ISO 27001 certification are documentation you can hand directly to an examiner or a client, instead of trying to describe the security posture of a physical office PC after the fact.

A concrete example: an examiner reviewing your WISP might ask who has admin access to the machine storing client returns, and when that access list was last reviewed. On a hosted environment, that’s a logged, auditable answer in one sentence. On a shared office PC, it usually isn’t an answer at all — it’s a guess.

“We migrated our whole firm’s Drake Tax setup mid-season and didn’t lose a single day. The team handled our EFIN and client data transfer without a hitch.”

“Having five preparers working in Drake Tax at once, from three different states, used to be a scheduling nightmare. Now everyone just logs in and works.”

“The uptime during filing season has been rock solid, and knowing our client data sits behind SOC 2 Type 2 security makes it an easy answer when clients ask.”
