The VeritShield WISP service is priced per firm, not per user or computer. The one-time fee covers your entire organization, providing a comprehensive compliance solution for your whole team.
VeritGuard, our Managed IT service, is a crucial component for maintaining compliance. It helps by implementing and managing the technical controls outlined in your WISP, such as endpoint security, automated patching, and secure network configurations. This proactive management ensures your firm's technology continuously meets the required security standards.
Your Written Information Security Plan should be reviewed and renewed at least annually. It's also crucial to update your WISP whenever there are significant changes to your business, such as adopting new technologies, changing data handling procedures, or in response to new threats.
Secure your firm's future with VeritShield's IRS Written Information Security Plan solution. Protect your clients, comply with regulations, and gain peace of mind.
