These IRS safeguards will not be of the “security clearance required” form. IRS data, while private, is not classified.

This. IRS data isn’t protected because it’s classified. It’s protected because of confidentiality enforced by laws passed by Congress (the Tax reform act I believe)

(and the fact that the executive branch can be sued out of their pants for civil damages).
