Readiness Report
Executive summary, scope, observations, risks, and recommended actions.
IRS Publication 1075
FTI safeguarding readiness before formal review.
Independent pre-assessment support for agencies and partners responsible for protecting Federal Tax Information.
Assessment Focus
From receipt of FTI through final disposal.
Our review follows the operational path of FTI and evaluates whether safeguards are documented, implemented, monitored, and supported by evidence.
- FTI receipt, transmission, and data-flow mapping
- Need-to-know access and role assignment
- System banners, labeling, and awareness
- Audit trails, monitoring, and retention
- Printing, storage, transport, and destruction
- Incident reporting and disclosure response
- Contractor and downstream recipient controls
Typical Deliverables
Control Matrix
Requirement-to-control mapping with evidence status and ownership.
Corrective Action Plan
Prioritized remediation items, responsible parties, due dates, and closure evidence.
Leadership Briefing
Clear presentation of readiness, major risks, and decisions requiring attention.
Important Boundary
Pre-audit readiness, not official IRS certification.
ControlMatrix provides independent assessment and advisory support. A readiness engagement does not constitute an IRS safeguard review, certification, legal opinion, or guarantee of regulatory acceptance.
