Frequently asked questions
A Written Information Security Plan (WISP) is a document required by IRS Publication 4557 and the FTC Safeguards Rule for anyone who handles taxpayer data. Yes — every tax preparer, CPA, and enrolled agent must have one. Our WISP templates are pre-built for IRS compliance and can be customized to your practice in under an hour.
Yes — every paid tax preparer is required by IRS Publication 5708 and the FTC Safeguards Rule to maintain a Written Information Security Plan (WISP). You can purchase a custom, audit-ready WISP for a one-time fee, and it ships with everything the IRS expects: risk assessment, written safeguards, employee training, incident response, and an annual review schedule.
From there, our managed cybersecurity packages scale to your practice — solo preparers, multi-CPA firms, and enterprise tax operations each get a different mix of endpoint protection, MFA, secure client portals, dark-web monitoring, and 24/7 SOC coverage. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute compliance review so we recommend only what you actually need.
Our EDR solution includes Ransomware Rollback® — if an attack gets through, we can restore your files to their pre-infection state without paying a ransom. Our 24/7 monitoring team is alerted instantly and begins containment within minutes.
Yes. Cloud tax software protects the data on their servers, but your local endpoints, email, Wi-Fi, and employee behavior are still attack vectors. The IRS requires you to secure the entire chain — not just the software you use.
Our dark web monitoring scans underground marketplaces and forums 24/7 for your firm's email addresses, client SSNs, EFIN numbers, and credentials. If anything surfaces, you get an immediate alert with steps to contain the exposure.
