Cetrom’s Complete Managed Security Solution for Accounting Firms Honored for Exceptional Security Solutions
Columbia, MD – March 26, 2026 - Cetrom, the leading provider of secure, intelligent cloud hosting solutions for accounting firms, announced today that TMC, a global, integrated media company, has named Cetrom’s Complete Managed Security Solutions as a 2025 TMCnet Zero Trust Security Excellence winner presented by TMCnet. This award recognizes Cetrom’s integrated approach to cybersecurity orchestration—spanning endpoint detection, managed detection and response, and compliance-native architecture designed for accounting firms navigating increased regulatory scrutiny, tightening insurance requirements, and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
Being named to the TMC Zero Trust Security Excellence list validates Cetrom’s approach to security as an architectural discipline, not a bolt-on service. Unlike generalist MSSPs, Cetrom builds its zero-trust framework around the specific compliance surface of CPA and financial services firms by integrating EDR, MDR, and SOC operations into an architecture designed from the ground up to satisfy the FTC Safeguards Rule, GLBA, and WISP requirements. As firms face converging pressures from AI adoption and integration, rising insurance thresholds, and the concentrated risk exposure during tax season, Cetrom’s model ensures that continuous verification of access controls is embedded in the infrastructure itself, not layered on after the fact.
"Receiving the 2025 TMCnet Zero Trust Security Excellence Award reflects where Cetrom is headed; from managed service provider to next-gen strategic security and technology partner for the accounting profession," said Christopher Stark, president and CEO of Cetrom. "Our clients are not just asking us to keep them secure. They are navigating AI, automation, and a fundamental shift from compliance work to advisory services, and they need a partner who understands that transformation at every level. This award validates our investment in building secure and innovative IT solutions that don’t just protect data but enable firms to modernize with confidence."
With over 25 years of exclusive focus on the accounting vertical, Cetrom delivers an integrated managed security stack that includes SOC controls, EDR, MDR, multi-factor authentication, continuous threat monitoring, and compliance support, orchestrated as a unified posture rather than a collection of point tools. Recently recognized as a 2025 top 250 MSSP and a 2026 CRN MSP Security 100, Cetrom’s security architecture is purpose-built to help firms meet the FTC Safeguards Rule and GLBA requirements and maintain a compliant Written Information Security Plan (WISP).
Today, Cetrom empowers accounting firms nationwide with managed IT services grounded in compliance-by-design architecture, proactive 24/7 U.S.-based support, and integrated security at every layer. As the profession accelerates its adoption of automation and AI-driven advisory services, Cetrom is evolving alongside its clients, serving not just as a trusted partner but as a strategic enabler of secure, efficient, and scalable growth.
“It gives me great pleasure to honor the recipients of the TMCnet Zero Trust Security Excellence Award,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. “The award recognizes solutions providers championing the ‘Trust nothing, verify everything’ mantra of a Zero Trust approach to security at a time when businesses are facing more complex and frequent threats than ever. The TMCnet Team is thoroughly impressed and congratulates the recipients.”
