Global consulting and IT services. Accenture builds and operates the systems that hold other companies' customer records, which places it in the same invisible-infrastructure category as Fiserv and Cognizant: a consumer's data can be handled by Accenture personnel in several countries under a contract the consumer will never see, and breach notice typically comes from the client rather than Accenture. That does not make the vendor untouchable: Accenture has been a defendant since July 2019 in a putative consumer class action (D. Md.) alleging negligence in the Starwood/Marriott reservations-database breach; on June 3, 2025 the appeals court again reversed class certification, and Accenture says it will continue to defend the case (Accenture FY2026 Form 10-K). Allegations, not findings.
