At Valley Techlogic, we know that CPA firms and other professional service providers handle some of the most sensitive client data, tax records, payroll, and financial information. A strong Written Information Security Plan (WISP) isn’t just a compliance requirement, it provides a foundational baseline for protecting your business and your reputation.
Here is how we can help:
-
Risk Assessment & Gap Analysis
- Conduct a baseline risk assessment to identify vulnerabilities in your current IT and data practices.
- Map findings against regulatory requirements (FTC Safeguards Rule, IRS Pub. 4557, California privacy laws).
- Provide a clear roadmap for addressing gaps before they turn into liabilities.
Policy Development & Documentation - Draft or update your WISP to reflect your current business operations, technology, and vendors.
- Ensure administrative, technical, and physical safeguards are clearly documented.
Employee Training & Awareness - Deliver ongoing cybersecurity training to meet compliance and reduce human error.
- Simulate phishing attacks to help staff spot real threats.
- Provide clear policies for remote work, password management, and data handling.
Ongoing Compliance Support - Conduct annual WISP reviews and risk reassessments.
- Assist with vendor security reviews.
- Maintain documentation needed for regulators, insurance providers, or client audits.
At Valley Techlogic we help our CPA firm clients build, maintain, and demonstrate a strong WISP giving them peace of mind, regulatory compliance, and client confidence. You can learn more today with a consultation or if you would like to read the IRS guidance on this topic it can be found here.
