TDEC Passes IRS 4812

TDEC is pleased to share that we have been assessed and passed the review for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 4812, allowing us to be part of a network of providers and third parties that support the IRS in managing sensitive financial data. The designation reflects our compliance with security requirements and best practices for handling specific forms of data, a requirement for all contractors working with the IRS.

Enhanced security for TDEC customers
IRS 4812 outlines the security and privacy requirements for contractors and subcontractors working with the IRS. Its primary purpose is to ensure that Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) data, such as Federal Tax Information (FTI), Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and Protected Health Information (PHI), is handled and protected appropriately.

The security standards for IRS 4812 align with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-53, including:

• Training and awareness
• Incident response
• Data encryption and management
• Cloud computing compliance
• Regular audits and compliance checks
• Documentation and reporting

TDEC prioritized data security. Meeting IRS standards reflects our commitment to evolving cybersecurity processes to protect customer data. Every TDEC customer benefits from our rigorous protocols for handling documents, system access, data delivery, and communication.

• TDEC is also SOC 2 compliant, following the American Institute of Certified Public Account’s standards for adequate security controls to protect customer data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
