West Palm Beach, FL - January 31, 2025 - Input Output (iO™), a cybersecurity and business management solutions provider, is pleased to announce the launch of its Written Information Security Program (WISP). This all-in-one, turnkey solution is specifically designed to help Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) and small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) efficiently achieve compliance with the FTC Safeguards Rule.
The WISP streamlines the compliance process, turning a traditionally complex and months-long task into an easily manageable one. By offering pre-built information security policies, risk assessment tools, and ongoing updates, WISP enables businesses to strengthen their information security frameworks and reduce vulnerabilities without diverting focus from growth.
“Data security and regulatory compliance are no longer optional – they are critical to the survival and growth of businesses in today’s digital landscape,” said James Bowers II, a Chief Security and Compliance Architect for Input Output. “We’ve taken the complexity out of compliance, providing SMBs a practical, professional solution that builds a robust foundation for long-term security and success.”
A Turnkey Solution for Modern Cybersecurity Challenges
The FTC Safeguards Rule mandates that businesses handling sensitive consumer data implement information security policies that protect against breaches and cyberattacks. However, compliance can be complex and resource-intensive, particularly for smaller organizations. WISP bridges this gap.
Key features include:
-
Comprehensive Compliance Documentation: Ready-to-use policy templates and tools tailored for FTC Safeguards Rule compliance.
-
Streamlined Implementation Process: Clear, step-by-step guidance to make compliance accessible even for businesses with no prior experience.
-
Risk Assessment and Security Tools: Resources to identify vulnerabilities and implement protective measures, ensuring a robust information security framework.
-
Ongoing Support and Updates: Continuous access to compliance-focused materials and ongoing security and compliance updates to keep businesses aligned with evolving regulations.
A Timely Solution to Mounting Cyber Threats
With cyberattacks on the rise, surging by 30% globally in 2024, organizations are under increasing pressure to protect sensitive data.
For SMBs, the stakes are especially high. According to Accenture’s Cybercrime study, 43% of cybercrime attacks are targeted toward small businesses. Only 14% have adequate cybersecurity measures in place to combat these threats. Alarmingly, 60% of small companies that suffer a cyberattack or data breach close their doors within six months.
Input Output’s WISP is a game-changer in simplifying compliance and strengthening cyber security. With its practical and comprehensive approach, Input Output demonstrates its commitment to supporting CPAs and SMBs in navigating regulatory challenges and protecting their operations for long-term success.
