The FTC's Safeguards Rule Amendment is Coming

Watch John Zwerneman, VP of Sales at Mosaic Compliance Services, break down the upcoming Safeguards Rule amendment and its potential impact on dealerships.



What's New in the Safeguards Amendment?


The upcoming Safeguards Rule amendment is set to take effect in May 2024. Here's what you need to know to stay ahead of the curve:


Understanding the Update


The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is rolling out an amendment to the Safeguards Rule to enhance data security regulations. This amendment represents a proactive step towards enforcing data protection measures more effectively and at scale.


Key Points for Dealerships


  1. Mandatory Breach Reporting: Under the updated Safeguards Rule, dealerships must report specific types of data breaches to the FTC.

  2. "Naughty List" Implications: Dealerships that experience reported breaches could find themselves on a public "naughty list," potentially tarnishing their business reputation.


The Importance of Compliance


In today's data-driven world, compliance is not just a box to check; it's a cornerstone of maintaining customer trust and upholding business integrity. Avoiding the "naughty list" is paramount for preserving your dealership's reputation and ensuring continued success.
