    Who Needs FTC Safeguards?

    Automotive dealerships (new and used car dealers)
    Finance and insurance (F&I) departments
    Mortgage brokers and lenders
    Tax preparation firms and accountants
    Auto leasing companies and buy-here-pay-here lots
    Any non-banking financial institution handling customer financial data

    Why It Matters

    Avoid Hefty Fines

    FTC enforcement is active. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties, consent orders, and reputational damage.

    Protect Customer Data

    Safeguard the personal financial information your customers trust you with — from Social Security numbers to credit applications.

    Meet Audit Requirements

    The updated rule requires a Qualified Individual, written security program, risk assessments, and annual reporting to your board.
