The FTC decided dealerships are financial institutions.
We handle what that means.
Safeguards Rule compliance, managed IT, and lot cameras for East Texas dealerships — one local vendor instead of three contracts.
The problem
You finance cars, so you're regulated like a bank
Because dealerships arrange financing, the FTC Safeguards Rule applies: a written security program, a designated qualified individual, MFA, encryption, vendor oversight, and continuous monitoring — with real penalties for non-compliance. Most dealerships found this out from their 20-group or their DMS vendor, not from their IT guy.
Meanwhile the store itself is a target twice over: customer credit applications full of Social Security numbers in the F&I office, and a lot full of inventory outside. Both need watching.
