WISP (Written Information Security Plan)

Full Preparation for Business Security Plans

A WISP (Written Information Security Plan) is essential for protecting sensitive information in your business, particularly for accounting firms and tax professionals. This plan outlines how your company identifies risks, prevents breaches, and securely handles confidential information. A strong WISP includes policies for managing data, employee training, and effective response strategies for potential threats. With a well-crafted WISP in place, you not only safeguard your company but also protect your customers, ensuring secure operations and fostering trust with your clients.

Regular audits help maintain security, improve operational efficiency, and ensure that employees consistently adhere to established guidelines.
