A Written Information Security Plan (WISP) is a formal document outlining an organization’s policies, procedures, and safeguards to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. Many industries, especially those handling personal, financial, or health information, are required by law or regulatory frameworks to implement and maintain a WISP to ensure compliance and reduce the risk of data breaches.

A comprehensive Written Information Security Plan details how data is collected, stored, transmitted, and disposed of securely. It identifies potential risks, defines security responsibilities, and sets protocols for incident response, password management, access control, and employee training. The WISP also outlines regular security audits, vulnerability assessments, and measures to keep systems updated against evolving threats.

Organizations benefit from a WISP by reducing legal liabilities, improving data protection, and fostering customer trust. It serves as both a compliance requirement and a proactive defense strategy.
