The Secret No One Is Talking About: A WISP Alone Isn’t Enough

Can you purchase a WISP template elsewhere? Absolutely! Some are even free. Who wouldn’t want that? Many templates try to organize the IRS WISP requirements into something more manageable. But here’s the catch: filling out a document doesn’t make you compliant.

Many WISP providers hand over a template—or even complete it for you—and call it a day. But compliance and security require more than a completed form. A WISP is not just a document; it’s a living security framework that evolves with your business. Without the right knowledge and practices in place, that template you filled out could give you a false sense of security while leaving your business exposed.

What Compliance and Security Actually Require

WISP document provides policies, processes, and guidance for training. But real security—compliance that actually protects your business—requires:

  • Knowing what you have so you can secure it.

  • Training yourself and your employees to recognize risks and follow security protocols.

  • Understanding what to do during a security incident—who to call, how to respond, and how to recover.

  • Educating yourself on what security vendors are selling you so you don’t pay for unnecessary tools.

  • Knowing when and how to update your documentation based on changes to your policies and processes.
