Built for tax and accounting professionals

Put real protection behind your written information security plan (WISP)

Cybersecurity, protected email, cloud backup, Microsoft 365 and professional computer support configured around the way your practice handles taxpayer information.

WISP security technology protecting tax data with endpoint security, cloud backup, multifactor authentication and server monitoring.

A plan is only the beginning

Does your current technology support your security plan?

Tax professionals collect and store some of the most sensitive personal and financial information available, including Social Security numbers, tax returns, banking details, income records and copies of identification. This makes accounting firms and tax-preparation practices attractive targets for identity theft, phishing, ransomware and other cybersecurity threats.

A Written Information Security Plan (WISP) documents how your practice protects taxpayer information and responds to potential security incidents. Cyber-Construction provides and supports the technology needed to put many of those technical safeguards into action—including managed cybersecurity, email protection, endpoint security, Microsoft 365 support, remote cloud backup and dependable computer and IT support.

The WISP requirement is already in effect

PTIN applications for the following year generally open in mid-October, making now a practical time to review the technology behind your plan.

Yes. IRS Publication 5708 explains that tax and accounting professionals are considered financial institutions under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and FTC Safeguards Rule, regardless of firm size. Covered practices must maintain a written and accessible information security plan designed around their operations and the customer information they handle.

The appropriate safeguards depend on your practice’s systems, staff, risks and working arrangements. Technical measures may include multi-factor authentication, protected email, endpoint security, access controls, secure device configuration, cloud backup, software updates and threat monitoring.

No. A WISP is a broader written security program addressing administrative, technical and physical safeguards. Cybersecurity software can help put parts of that plan into practice, but installing software by itself does not create a complete WISP or demonstrate compliance.

No. Cyber-Construction focuses on the technology behind your security plan rather than WISP paperwork, legal advice, compliance reviews or certification. We can evaluate your technology, recommend applicable services, configure the solutions you select and support those systems.

Our services include managed cybersecurity, email protection, endpoint security, Microsoft 365 assistance, remote cloud backup, password and multi-factor authentication support, device configuration, and onsite or remote computer support. Recommendations are based on the technology your practice uses and the safeguards you need to implement.

Yes. Smaller and home-based practices still handle sensitive taxpayer information and face many of the same technology risks as larger firms. Cyber-Construction can recommend practical cybersecurity, protected email, backup, Microsoft 365 and computer-support services for independent preparers, remote teams and growing accounting firms.
