The Business Owners IT Podcast Ep. 8 - The Role of a Written Information Security Program (W.I.S.P)

Welcome to The Business Owner's IT Podcast with Anthony Gerasch and Ryan Carter—Episode 8, sponsored by Unique Computing Solutions. This podcast discusses tips, tricks, and solutions for business owners regarding all things tech. Unique Computing Solutions (UCS) has been in close discussions with clients lately, and a common request has emerged: a "WISP," or Written Information Security Program. This request is closely tied to the FTC safeguards established a few years ago. A WISP outlines the framework for how your business handles information security, and it must comply with FTC safeguards to be effective. Some customers are turning to free online resources to obtain WISP policies. Still, the problem arises when these policies are not implemented properly. It's crucial for businesses to not only have a WISP but also ensure it is actively followed. Please do so to avoid exposing your business to significant risks. If you need help determining whether your business is aligned with WISP requirements or ensuring compliance with your cybersecurity insurance policy, please visit our website and fill out our contact form. We would love to hear from you! Contact us here: https://uniquecomputingsolutions.com/contact/ UCS Tip of the Week: Follow through on your commitments.
