Your Security is Our Priority at WISP Builder

At WISP Builder, we recognize that your data is more than just information—it’s the lifeblood of your business. That’s why our platform is built with security as its foundation, ensuring your sensitive data is protected at every step.

Looking over a man's shoulder toward his laptop with a lock showing on screen while he enters a password.

Peace of Mind, Built in with Multiple Layers of Protection

We’ve implemented several security measures to keep your account safe:

Strong Password Requirements

The first line of defense is a robust password that’s difficult for others to guess but easy for you to remember.

Email Verification

We verify all email addresses to ensure that you—and only you—have access to your account.

Mandatory Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

We require all users to set up multi-factor authentication, adding an essential second layer of security beyond just a password. With MFA enabled, even if someone somehow obtains your password, they still couldn’t access your account without the second verification factor that only you possess. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and keeps your account secure.

Encrypted Connections and Data

Secure HTTPS Connections

All communications between your device and WISP Builder are encrypted using HTTPS, the same technology used by banks and online retailers. This means your sensitive information can’t be intercepted or viewed by others, even on public Wi-Fi networks.

End-to-End Data Encryption

Why WISP Builder, LLC.?

In short, we saw a need. We understand the challenge created by the increased targeting of tax professionals by data thieves and other bad players. So we understand why the Federal Trade Commission and the IRS are legally requiring WISPs. But in talking with thousands of accounting and tax professionals we found:

they do not have a WISP, OR
they have a WISP, but it is a static copy received from a CPE course or a printout and is not actively maintained, managed or adapted to the needs of your firm, OR
the firm clicked on a promised online WISP only to find the click was a simple lead generation for an expensive IT security consulting contract

So we created a working online IRS WISP tool that you can use to help create a plan to keep your client’s information private all while proving to authorities that you comply with new regulations. Whether you use the tool yourself, or direct your security IT person to use the tool, we hope you’ll find an easier solution to create, maintain, and prove compliance with a Written Information Security Plan that works for you and your firm.
