Does your organization handle sensitive financial information for clients?
If so, you’re probably required to create and maintain a security plan to protect client data, per the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (also known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act).
Where do you get started with securing taxpayer information though? The IRS recommends the “Security Six” steps:
- Install anti-virus software.
- Install a firewall.
- Turn on two-factor authentication.
- Use backup software or services.
- Use drive encryption software.
- Establish a virtual private network (VPN).
These six steps are crucial to securing data and protecting devices.
