Do I need a security plan if clients prefer hard copy check.  Pub 1345 talks about filing.  Following pub 4557 and at a standstill.  Please give some opinions.  Is there a draft  program security plan guide out there as a model.  I am a lone preparer.

Thank you, Mike

If you are referring to your client preferring paper return, yes, you should have a security plan in place as you would still possess data that may be breached if the appropriate precautionary measures are not taken.

Please see this recent discussion about security plan templates: https://accountants-community.intuit.com/questions/1875169-written-data-security-plan-for-tax-prepar...
