What the free worksheet does not do

The free worksheet is not a completed WISP, legal advice, or a guarantee of compliance. It is a starting framework to help you identify the areas your firm needs to document.

When you need more than a starting worksheet, move into the DIY WISP System for structure, the Premium WISP System for SOPs, or the Complete WISP Package.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a completed WISP?
No. The free worksheet is a starting framework. It helps you organize the areas your firm needs to think through, but it is not a completed Written Information Security Plan.
Who is this for?
It is for tax preparers, solo practices, small tax firms, and newer offices that want a simple way to begin documenting their data security process.
Do I need a WISP if I am a solo tax preparer?
If you handle taxpayer information, you should have a written plan for protecting that data. Solo preparers still need to think through access, storage, service providers, devices, passwords, and incident response.
What is the difference between the free worksheet and the paid WISP products?
The free worksheet is a printable starting point. The paid tiers move from a document-only template, to a guided completion system, to a self-serve SOP system, and finally to a completed package prepared for your firm.
Will you spam me?
No. We will send the worksheet and occasional WISP or tax-practice compliance updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.
