A written information security program, or WISP, is the cornerstone of an information governance program. It can assist organizations in mitigating the risk of a cyberattack or the inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information and may also provide a legal defense for data breach-related claims. Pursuant to <strong>Ohio’s cybersecurity safe harbor law (2018 SB 220)</strong>, implementing and maintaining a WISP can provide businesses with an <strong>affirmative defense</strong> against certain claims alleging that a failure to implement and maintain reasonable security standards resulted in a data breach.
