For Auto Dealers
Does Your Dealership Meet the FTC Safeguards Rule?
The FTC Safeguards Rule requires every dealer to maintain a documented information security program. Enter your domain or email for an instant audit.
The FTC Safeguards Rule, in Plain English
Dealers are 'financial institutions' under the rule. You must have a written program, a qualified individual in charge, and safeguards that protect customer data — or risk FTC enforcement.
1. Designate & Document
Name a Qualified Individual to run the program and keep a written information security program (WISP) that's reviewed regularly.
2. Protect Customer Data
Encryption in transit, MFA on systems with customer data, access controls, and secure email — exactly what our audit checks first.
3. Monitor & Train
Continuous monitoring or annual penetration testing, vendor oversight, and recurring security-awareness training for staff.
The Golden Rule: Document everything and review your program annually.
Fix the gaps the audit finds
We configure your email authentication, harden your systems, and produce the written program the Safeguards Rule requires.
