Meet the IRS’s data security requirements and keep your systems running smoothly through busy season.
Since 2023, the FTC Safeguards Rule has required every paid tax preparer to maintain a Written Information Security Plan, not a template downloaded once and never updated, and firms that cannot produce one during an IRS review risk penalties or losing e-file privileges entirely.
We build and maintain a WISP that matches what your firm actually runs, keep your systems monitored and backed up through your busiest months, and make sure a server issue in March never turns into a missed filing deadline for a client.
Keep your WISP current as your systems and staff actually change.
Secure the client portal where tax documents actually get exchanged.
Back up every workpaper before a hardware failure puts a filing at risk.
Scale support capacity up during your busiest tax season months.
Encrypt every client’s Social Security number and financial record.
Your firm cannot afford a system outage in March any more than a client can afford a missed filing deadline. We build our monitoring, backup, and security around your actual calendar, not a generic support schedule that ignores it completely.
Your Written Information Security Plan gets updated as your systems and staff actually change, instead of sitting as a downloaded template from years ago that no longer describes your firm.
We increase monitoring attention and support responsiveness during your busiest filing months, since a delay tolerable in July becomes a real problem in the middle of a deadline in April.
Client tax documents move through an encrypted portal instead of an email attachment, so a Social Security number or a W-2 never sits unprotected in an inbox anyone could access.
Workpapers and client files get backed up automatically and tested on a schedule, so a system crash during filing season costs an afternoon of frustration, not weeks of reconstructed work.





Since 2023, the FTC Safeguards Rule has required every paid tax preparer to maintain a Written Information Security Plan describing the specific technical, administrative, and physical safeguards protecting client data, not a generic template with your firm’s name inserted at the top. We build a WISP that reflects your actual systems, your actual vendors, and your actual staff, then keep it updated as any of those things change throughout the year.
A downloaded WISP template rarely survives contact with an actual IRS review, since it describes safeguards a firm does not really have in place. We build yours from what your firm actually runs, whether this is the first WISP your firm has ever had or a replacement for one that has not been touched since it was purchased.
We document the actual technical safeguards protecting your client data.
Your WISP gets updated whenever your systems or vendors change.
Administrative and physical safeguards get documented, not just technical ones.
The support your firm needs in July is not the support your firm needs in March, when every workstation is in constant use, every printer matters, and a slow login can cost a preparer twenty minutes they do not have. We watch your systems more closely during your busiest filing months, prioritize your tickets accordingly, and make sure the infrastructure that barely gets touched most of the year is actually ready to carry the load.
Here is what changes at your firm once tax season actually starts, whether this is your first season working with us or your fifth one. We do not wait for you to call about a slowdown, we are already watching for one before it becomes the reason a filing gets delayed past a deadline your client is counting on.
We monitor your systems more closely during your busiest filing months.
Your support tickets get prioritized higher during filing season.
Infrastructure gets stress-tested before the season’s heaviest weeks arrive.
A W-2 or a 1099 sent as a plain email attachment sits unprotected in an inbox indefinitely, forwarded, downloaded, and copied without anyone tracking where it ends up. We set up an encrypted client portal for document exchange instead, so a client uploading a tax document or downloading a completed return does so through a channel actually built to protect that kind of sensitive financial and personal information.
Clients are used to emailing documents because it feels simple, not because it is actually safe, and the habit is worth breaking before a data breach makes the case for you the hard way. We make the secure option the easy one for both your staff and your clients to actually use.
We set up an encrypted portal for exchanging every tax document.
Clients upload documents through a secure link, not an email attachment.
Your staff download completed returns from the same protected portal.
Accounting firms count on us because we understand the calendar your business actually runs on, and we build our support, monitoring, and security work around your busiest months instead of a generic year-round schedule that ignores them.
Peer Review Ready
Your security documentation stays organized year round, so when your triennial peer review comes up, producing evidence of your controls is a quick task rather than a scramble assembled the week the reviewer arrives on site.
We Manage Tax Software
We handle license renewals and support tickets with your tax preparation software vendor directly, so nobody at your firm loses an hour on hold with a vendor’s call center during the busiest week of the year.
Built For Deadline Pressure
We understand that a missed filing deadline carries real financial consequences for your clients, penalties, interest, and a damaged relationship, so any technology problem at your firm gets treated with the urgency that real stakes deserve.
Plain-Language Reports
Security and compliance work gets explained to your partners in plain, simple terms that make sense to an accountant, not a wall of technical acronyms nobody at your firm has time to decode during filing season.
Yes. We build the actual document describing your firm’s real safeguards, rather than handing you a generic template to fill in yourself and hope it holds up.
Yes, in the sense that we watch your systems more closely and prioritize your tickets higher, though we do not promise a specific number of hours in writing.
No new account is required for most portal setups. Clients typically receive a secure link by email and upload documents directly, without a separate login to remember.
Yes. We support whatever tax preparation software your firm already relies on, handling license renewals and vendor tickets on your behalf instead of pushing you toward a different platform.
