Auditor Suzanne Bump said an audit found the department was not prepared to respond to or mitigate cyberattacks that it or its vendors face. Bump cautioned that inadequate controls could make sensitive taxpayer data, including Social Security numbers and tax payment history, vulnerable to cyberattacks and inappropriate disclosure.

The audit examined the department's operations from July 1, 2016 through Dec. 31, 2018, and it did not have procedures in place to guide its response to information technology security incidents, Bump said.
The department also said it's also going to convene a group to look at vendor risks.
