    The rules your firm already answers to,"The IRS says: &ldquo;Tax professionals are required by law to have a WISP in place to protect customer data.&rdquo; IRS data security plan guidance . IRS Publication 5708 provides a sample WISP for smaller practices; adapt it to your firm."
    How we cover each requirement,"These services support your firm’s security program. Have your Qualified Individual review coverage, testing scope and evidence against the rule; 24/7 MDR alone is not a determination that the continuous-monitoring requirement is satisfied. Compliance documentation and deeper security programs depend on the tier and agreed scope."
    Tax season without downtime,"Make filing deadlines part of your technology planning: agree patching windows outside deadline periods and review the latest restore-test report before tax season. Our managed IT service tests and deploys OS and third-party patches on a schedule; backup restores are tested quarterly."
    Software we support,"We support Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace , including tenant hardening and license management. For your firm’s tax and practice software and scanners, bring the vendor and device details to the assessment so we can confirm support scope and responsibilities before quoting."
    Accounting firm IT questions,"Yes. The IRS says: &ldquo;Tax professionals are required by law to have a WISP in place to protect customer data.&rdquo; Read the IRS guidance and use Publication 5708 as a starting point for your firm’s own plan."

    Monitoring and testing,"&ldquo;For information systems, the monitoring and testing shall include continuous monitoring or periodic penetration testing and vulnerability assessments. Absent effective continuous monitoring or other systems to detect, on an ongoing basis, changes in information systems that may create vulnerabilities, you shall conduct: (i) Annual penetration testing of your information systems determined each given year based on relevant identified risks in accordance with the risk assessment; and (ii) Vulnerability assessments, including any systemic scans or reviews of information systems reasonably designed to identify publicly known security vulnerabilities in your information systems based on the risk assessment, at least every six months; and whenever there are material changes to your operations or business arrangements; and whenever there are circumstances you know or have reason to know may have a material impact on your information security program.&rdquo;"

  faqs[4]{question,answer}:
    Do tax preparers need a WISP?,"Yes. The IRS says: &ldquo;Tax professionals are required by law to have a WISP in place to protect customer data.&rdquo; Read the IRS guidance and use Publication 5708 as a starting point for your firm’s own plan."
    Does the FTC Safeguards Rule apply to my firm?,"Most tax preparation firms fall within its scope. IRS Publication 5708, page 2 says tax and accounting professionals are considered financial institutions under the GLBA and Safeguards Rule, regardless of size. Review the rule with your own counsel for applicability, exceptions and edge cases."
    What does managed IT cost for a 10-person CPA firm?,"The published tiers are Remote-First at $95, Complete at $125 and Compliance+ at $155 per user per month. For 10 users, that is $950, $1,250 or $1,550 per month before separately billed servers. Minimum 10 users; servers are billed per device. A fixed quote follows a one-hour assessment. Compliance documentation and deeper security programs depend on tier and scope."
    Can you work with our existing tax software vendor?,Our managed IT service includes vendor relationship management. Bring your tax software vendor’s support requirements to the assessment so we can confirm how responsibilities will be shared. Specific tax-platform support must be confirmed before the agreement.
