The FTC’s Safeguards Rule Protects Data

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enacted the Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information – the Safeguards Rule – in 2003 to help businesses protect consumer and customer data. The Safeguards Rule stems from the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), which is the United States law requiring financial institutions to protect the integrity, confidentiality, and security of customer data. The FTC revised the Safeguards Rule in 2021 to include car dealerships. You now have until June 9, 2023 to comply.
