All I have to do is buy this WISP Implementation Course and I am done, right?

Unfortunately, No. I have made the WISP as easy as I can to implement and maintain. You will receive written instructions and videos to help you implement the WISP. You will have to complete several steps to implement including inventory of any hardware that you use to store PII, checking that you have a firewall, making sure that your operating systems and anti-virus are up to date. Don't worry, the included videos will walk you through it. You will also need to complete maintenance regularly throughout the year. Our maintenance course will help you to learn how to do it all yourself.

Is the PII Annual Training Instruction Video optional?

Yes, the PII Annual Training Instruction Video is completely optional. You may choose any form of training that you would like. However, the WISP does require annual training. We hope that you will return each year to take advantage of our Annual Training Instruction. You receive a certificate upon completion of the course.

Is the Maintenance Training Instruction Video optional?

Absolutely. This course is only for those who want to do it all themselves. The WISP will require regular maintenance. The course walks you through how to maintain your security to stay in compliance throughout the year. If you hire a consultant to complete maintenance, it could cost up to $7,200 per year. This course can save you a bundle.
