  • “We recommended that the Chief Information Officer establish official ownership and assign responsibilities for the web registration program, enforce IRS procedures to block unauthorized web servers from providing data over the IRS network, and require an annual scan of web servers and comparison to the web registration database to identify unauthorized web servers. Unauthorized web servers should be immediately disconnected from the IRS network, and inappropriate web sites should be referred to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration Office of Investigations.”
