How can automotive dealerships ensure they meet the new compliance requirements outlined by the updated Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Safeguards Rule by the December 8, 2022, deadline?
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced several updates to the Safeguards Rule this past October with the intent of combatting cyber-attacks and safeguarding consumer information. Citing the widespread data breaches impacting consumers, the FTC updates aim to better protect consumers from breaches and cyberattacks that lead to identity theft and financial loss.
The nine required elements of an information security program are outlined in Section 314.4 of the Safeguards Rule:
The complete listings, requirements and details are available to view at https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-16/chapter-I/subchapter-C/part-314/section-314.4 and a PDF version of our guide is available here.
While the focus of this piece is on automotive dealerships, the updated FTC Safeguards Rule also applies to non-banking financial institutions, such as mortgage brokers, and payday lenders.
The myriad of information security program requirements under the updated FTC Safeguards Rule has put a huge burden on automotive dealers who do not have the internal resources to meet the outlined security information requirements.
The Schneider Downs cybersecurity team and automotive industry group work together to provide the industry knowledge and technical talent to help automotive dealers meet the FTC Safeguards Rule’s December 9, 2022 deadline.
