*2.  IRS, Security Summit remind tax pros they must have a Written Information Security Plan to protect client data*

________________________________________________________________________

The IRS and its Security Summit partners reminded tax professionals about the federal mandate to have a Written Information Security Plan (WISP) designed to help protect them against threats from identity thieves and data breaches. The IRS provides resources to help with this process. In the third installment of the series "Protect Your Clients; Protect Yourself" [ [link removed] ], the Security Summitt partners provide tax professionals with timely tips to help protect sensitive taxpayer data while protecting businesses from identity theft.

As part of a security plan, the IRS also recommends tax professionals develop a data theft response plan, including contacting their IRS Stakeholder Liaison [ [link removed] ] to report a security incident. Tax professionals can also share information with the appropriate state tax agency by visiting the Federation of Tax Administrators’ webpage: Report a Data Breach [ [link removed] ].
