Policy Development & Review
We help businesses develop and review written security policies that define how sensitive information is protected. This includes documenting policies for data handling, access control, password standards, device usage, and incident response responsibilities. Policy reviews ensure documentation stays aligned with current security practices and supports consistent behavior across the organization.
Policy Enforcement & Auditing
We assist businesses with implementing and maintaining security policies by reviewing how policies are applied in day-to-day operations. This includes identifying gaps between documented policies and actual practices, recommending corrective actions, and supporting internal reviews. Ongoing policy oversight helps improve accountability and reduces security risks caused by inconsistent enforcement.
Incident Response Planning
We help businesses create documented incident response plans that outline how security incidents should be handled. Plans define roles, communication steps, containment actions, and recovery procedures in the event of a data breach or security event. Clear incident response planning helps teams act quickly and confidently, reducing confusion and minimizing operational impact during an incident.
Business Functions We Support
Our services support key business functions such as internal operations, employee training and accountability, risk management, and incident preparedness. You can expect documented security policies and clear guidance that help these functions operate consistently and responsibly. This support helps align day-to-day activities with your security standards, but it does not replace legal, regulatory, or certification requirements.

Questions About WISP Services
What is a WISP, and why does my business need one?
A WISP is a Written Information Security Plan that outlines how your company protects sensitive data. It prevents breaches and guides employees on proper data handling. It also provides steps to respond quickly to incidents. Having a WISP ensures your business and clients stay safe.
What kinds of sensitive information do Enstep's WISPs protect?
Our written information security plans (WISPs) protect critical customer data, including personally identifiable information (PII) and financial details specific to industries like accounting and tax preparation. By implementing administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, we help businesses manage risks tied to data breaches and identity theft.
How frequently should policies and incident response plans updated?
We regularly review and update our WISPs to keep pace with cybersecurity developments and regulatory requirements. For businesses handling sensitive data, we recommend updating annually or whenever new guidelines emerge under rules like the FTC Safeguards Rule.
How does policy development help protect my business?
Policy development creates rules for managing data and security practices. Clear policies prevent mistakes and reduce risk. Employees know how to handle information safely. This keeps your business secure and organized.
What is policy enforcement and auditing?
Policy enforcement makes sure employees follow security rules. Auditing checks for gaps or violations in those policies. This ensures consistent security practices across the business. It helps catch problems before they cause breaches.
How do incident response plans help my business?
Incident response plans outline exactly what to do if a security issue happens. This allows your team to react quickly and limit damage. Plans include steps for data recovery and communication. They reduce downtime and protect your reputation.
Is a WISP only for accounting or tax businesses?
No, a WISP benefits any business handling sensitive information. It helps protect data, reduce risk, and stay compliant with industry standards. Small and medium businesses also gain trust with clients by showing they take security seriously. A WISP is a smart step for any company.
