AI is moving through accounting firms faster than governance can keep up — and the gap between how staff use AI and how firms control it is exactly where client data gets exposed. This white paper lays out a practical model for adopting AI securely, with Zero Trust as the starting point rather than an afterthought. It's built specifically for the realities of public accounting: the sensitive taxpayer and client data your firm handles, the compliance obligations you carry, and the busy-season pressures that make shortcuts tempting.
Inside, you'll find:
- Six real-world scenarios showing where confidential data leaves the firm's control
- The Zero Trust control set for identity, devices, data, and oversight
- What DLP must cover once AI enters your environment
- How AI use maps to the FTC Safeguards Rule, IRS Pub 4557, and NIST frameworks
- A 30/60/90/180-day implementation roadmap
- A one-page action checklist your team can start using this week
