Keep the work moving.
Keep taxpayer data protected.
A deadline is not the time to lose access to your files or find out nobody is watching an account. RIKR helps tax practices with everyday IT support and practical safeguards for the client information behind the work.

Support for your practice.
Care for your clients’ information.
Tax software, document portals, staff devices, and business email all need to work together. We help with the IT underneath them and coordinate with application vendors when you need more than another support number.
Manage seasonal access
Set up staff with appropriate permissions and remove access when the season or engagement ends. Individual logins help keep access from becoming a guessing game.

IRS Tax Security 2.0Turn the checklist
Turn the checklist
into working safeguards.
The IRS Taxes-Security-Together checklist covers basic safeguards, a written security plan, phishing awareness, signs of theft, and a recovery plan. We help with the technical work behind those priorities.
Start with the Security Six
Review antivirus, firewalls, MFA, backup, drive encryption, and secure remote connections. Match implementation to the devices and systems your practice uses.
Read the IRS checklistProtect email and identities
Managed identity protection and staff awareness help address suspicious sign-ins and convincing messages. Make it easy for someone to report a mistake quickly.
Protect business emailPrepare to respond
Document who to call and how to contain a problem. A data-theft response should include the appropriate IRS Stakeholder Liaison alongside your technical response team.

Your WISP needs
more than a saved template.
A Written Information Security Plan describes how your practice protects client information. IRS Publication 5708 offers a starting point. Your actual systems, responsibilities, and day-to-day processes need to be reflected in the plan.
RIKR helps identify IT systems, technical safeguards, access practices, and recovery needs for that work. We agree on the scope of assessment, documentation, and ongoing support rather than treat a purchased tool as the whole answer.

Practical answers for tax professionals.
What is Tax Security 2.0?
It is the IRS Taxes-Security-Together checklist for tax professionals. It brings together the Security Six, a written data security plan, phishing awareness, theft warning signs, and recovery planning.
What are the Security Six?
Antivirus, a firewall, MFA, backup, drive encryption, and secure VPN connections. We help review how those safeguards fit your devices, software, and remote-work arrangements.
Do small or solo tax practices need a WISP?
Yes. The IRS says professional tax preparers must create and maintain an information security plan. A smaller practice can use a plan proportionate to its operation, but it still needs to reflect how client information is protected.
Can you help with our WISP?
We can help document the IT environment, identify technical gaps, and implement agreed safeguards. Assessment and documentation work are scoped separately from routine support; your practice remains responsible for its overall security program.
Do you replace our tax software provider?
No. We support the device, network, and access around the application and coordinate with your software provider on issues inside its product.
Can we send taxpayer records through this form?
No. Leave your business contact details only. Do not submit tax returns, Social Security numbers, or other client documents through this form.
