If you're a tax professional, you've probably heard of the IRS Written Information Security Plan (WISP). It's a set of cybersecurity requirements designed to protect your firm and client data from the growing threat of cyberattacks.

The WISP was created by the Security Summit (https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/security-summit-releases-new-data-security-plan-to-help-tax-professionals-new-wisp-simplifies-complex-area) with the best intentions, but for many small to mid-size firms, deciphering Publication 5708 (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p5708.pdf) and implementing a comprehensive WISP can feel overwhelming.
