TRUST • RESPONSIBILITY • PROTECTION
Protecting taxpayer and business information is a responsibility we take seriously. Our security approach is designed around recognized tax-industry guidance, responsible data handling, access discipline and ongoing awareness.
OUR SECURITY COMMITMENT
Empire Elite Financial Solutions recognizes the sensitivity of taxpayer and financial information. Our security program is designed with reference to IRS guidance for tax professionals and the Federal Trade Commission Safeguards Rule. Security practices must evolve with business operations, technology, risk and emerging threats.
Written information-security planning provides a framework for identifying risks, assigning responsibility, documenting safeguards and reviewing the program as operations change. Detailed internal security plans and procedures are not published on this public website.
Our security approach considers people, processes, technology and the physical handling of information. Safeguards should be appropriate to the size and complexity of the business, the nature of its activities and the sensitivity of the information involved.
Access to sensitive information should be limited to legitimate business needs and authorized roles. Public opportunity applications on this website do not request Social Security numbers, banking information or taxpayer return data.
Security is a people responsibility as well as a technology responsibility. Training, clear procedures, role awareness and accountability help reduce avoidable risk and reinforce responsible handling of customer information.
Technology and service providers are part of the security environment. Appropriate safeguards, provider capabilities, contractual expectations and periodic review are important considerations when customer information is handled by third parties.
Security planning includes preparing for potential security events. A sound response framework addresses responsibilities, communication, containment, documentation, recovery and improvements identified after an event.
THE EMPIRE STANDARD
Risk changes. Technology changes. Teams change. A responsible information-security program is reviewed and adjusted as circumstances change.
For clients and professionals: never send Social Security numbers, banking credentials, taxpayer documents or other highly sensitive information through public website forms, social media messages or ordinary opportunity inquiries. Use the designated secure workflow provided for the specific service.
