Think of your clients’ data as a castle full of treasure—and the IRS requires you to secure it with a WISP that’s equal parts drawbridge and moat.

First, appoint a “Security Captain” to map every weak spot (like outdated software or “password123” fans). Next, build your fortress: encrypt all files, enforce multi-factor authentication, and run annual phishing drills—with everyone playing villain to keep it fun.

Prepare for Intruders

Draft an incident response plan now—breach notices, notification timelines, even coffee-station upgrades—so you’re never scrambling under pressure.

Bonus tip: Share non-sensitive WISP highlights on your website. It’s free marketing that tells prospects, “Your data’s safe here.”

Your WISP isn’t a dusty binder—it’s a living, trust-building tool. Update it yearly, guard the castle gates, and let your clients sleep easy knowing their treasures are locked down.
