PILLAR 02 · TRUST & GOVERNANCE
You're not liable because of your size. You're liable because of your data.
If your business holds customer, financial, employee, or health information, you carry real security and compliance responsibilities — regardless of headcount. TU Compliance turns those obligations into a documented, living program that actually matches how your business operates. Not ready for a full compliance program yet? Start with TU Essentials and get your devices properly managed first.
Massachusetts WISP
Need a WISP for your business?
201 CMR 17.00 requires most Massachusetts businesses to keep one. We build, document, and maintain yours — audit-ready. Plans start at $500.
See WISP plans & book a consultation →SECURITY VS. COMPLIANCE
Two different questions. You need answers to both.
Who does this apply to? In Massachusetts, any business that stores personal information about a state resident is required to maintain a Written Information Security Program (WISP) under 201 CMR 17.00. Tax preparers have IRS WISP obligations. Healthcare-adjacent practices carry HIPAA responsibilities. Cyber-insurance carriers increasingly require documented controls before they’ll pay a claim. Small doesn’t mean exempt.
| Security | Compliance | |
|---|---|---|
| The question | “Are we actually protected?” | “Can we prove we take reasonable measures?” |
| The form it takes | Controls, monitoring, backups, access rules, training | Documented policies, risk assessments, evidence, reviews |
| Who cares | You, your clients, attackers | Regulators, insurers, auditors, larger clients |
| What fails without it | Your operations and your data | Your legal position, insurance claims, and contracts |
A compliance document that doesn’t reflect your real environment is worse than useless — it’s evidence against you. That’s why TU Compliance is built on top of an actually secured environment, and why documents are written to match how you truly operate.
