Learning Objective

  • To analyze what is the WISP.
  • To discuss why there is a need for WISP.
  • To explain how to start with WISP.
  • To inspect strategies for success.

Course Overview

Tax and accounting professionals are at significant risk for cyberattacks because they have the data hackers want. Thieves can impersonate the victims and file fraudulent tax returns with information like names, social security numbers, financial data, and addresses. And with a cyberattack happening every 39 seconds, the chances of your practice getting attacked continue to grow, especially if you’re not prioritizing data security. 

According to a report, just 20% of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and other cybersecurity leaders surveyed believe they are sufficiently protected against the negative impact of a data breach today. This is despite 97% of that population of security leaders asserting that their organizations were as prepared or more prepared for a cyberattack than they were one year ago. 

Implementing cybersecurity measures is not just a matter of best practices. It’s the law. Paid accounting and tax practices are required by IRS and law to create and implement a Written Information Security Plan (WISP).

Major Topics Covered:

  • What’s a WISP
  • Why Do I Need One?
  • Where Do I Start
  • Strategies for Success

Join this CPE Information Technology webinar to understand everything about Written Information Security Plans for your Tax & Accounting Practice.
