Interested in a WISP Assessment
for your organization?
What is a WISP?
A Written Information Security Program (WISP) is a formal document that outlines how an organization plans to protect sensitive data. It includes:
– Administrative, physical, and technical safeguards.
– Employee training and accountability.
– Incident response planning.
– Ongoing monitoring and updates to the program.
What is a WISP Assessment?
A WISP Assessment is a detailed review of your organization’s current information security policies and procedures. It helps you:
1. Identify Gaps: Pinpoint areas where your current WISP may not meet regulatory standards.
2. Achieve Compliance: Ensure alignment with the FTC Safeguards Rule and other relevant guidelines.
3. Strengthen Cybersecurity: Enhance your ability to protect sensitive client and business data from cyber threats like phishing, ransomware, and data breaches.
4. Build Client Trust: Show clients and stakeholders that you take data protection seriously.
Why Do You Need a WISP Assessment?
– The FTC Safeguards Rule requires financial and professional services firms to have a WISP in place.
– A lack of compliance can result in fines, legal risks, and reputational damage.
– Cybercriminals actively target businesses that handle sensitive financial data, like CPA firms.
What We Provide in a WISP Assessment:
– Policy Review: Evaluate your existing security policies and documents.
– Gap Analysis: Highlight areas where your WISP falls short.
– Actionable Recommendations: A roadmap to strengthen your program and meet compliance requirements.
– Next Steps: Guidance on implementing missing safeguards.
