Beyond 7216: The FTC Safeguards Rule, SOC 2, and Your Firm's WISP

In part two of his series on protecting taxpayer information, Jeremy shifts from who can see client data to how firms actually have to secure it. He walks through the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the FTC Safeguards Rule, and what a written information security plan needs to cover, then explains how SOC 2 reports help firms vet software vendors. He closes with the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility's new AI guidance under Circular 230, and what it means to treat AI like a junior staff member rather than an unsupervised practitioner.
