Meeting IRS and FTC requirements takes more than a Written Information Security Plan. We guide tax professionals through every part of the process so you can protect taxpayer data with confidence.
Documentation & WISP
We develop your IRS-compliant Written Information Security Plan (WISP) along with the required policies, procedures, and documentation that demonstrate how your practice protects taxpayer information.
Required for every tax preparer, per the IRS
Technical Safeguards
We implement the security controls required under the FTC Safeguards Rule, including email security, endpoint protection, backups, and continuous monitoring.
Implementation + ongoing support

Your whole team joins one live online session covering phishing, business email compromise, and the social engineering tactics behind this tax season’s biggest breaches.
