FTC Safeguards
Secure & Defend Customer Financial Information
If your business handles nonpublic personal financial information, the FTC Safeguards Rule requires you to protect that data with a comprehensive, documented cybersecurity program. Staying compliant isn’t just good practice — it’s a regulatory requirement.
Why the FTC Safeguards Rule Matters
Financial data is among the most targeted by cybercriminals.
Without proper safeguards, unauthorized access can lead to financial loss, regulatory penalties, and lasting reputational damage.
Under the Safeguards Rule, covered organizations must design, implement, and maintain an information security program with administrative, technical, and physical controls tailored to the size, complexity, and risk profile of the business
Common FTC Safeguards Compliance Challenges
Many businesses struggle with Safeguards Rule compliance because:
Unclear Scope
Determining whether your business qualifies as a covered “financial institution” under the FTC’s definition can be complex.
Written Program Requirements
The Rule mandates a documented information security program, and many organizations lack the internal expertise to build one.
Evolving Risks
Safeguarding customer information requires ongoing assessments, testing, and updates to reflect new threats.
PCI Gap Assessment
First, we audit your current environment — Missing or inconsistent controls around access management, encryption, logging, vulnerability management, and incident response can create hidden risk.
Tailored Compliance Roadmap
Based on that gap assessment, we build you a compliance roadmap. This is a clear, prioritized checklist of what needs to change, what level of effort it involves, and how to get there.
Service Provider Oversight
If third parties access customer data, you’re responsible for ensuring they maintain compliant safeguards.
