Auto dealerships are probably already aware of the significant changes to the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Safeguards Rule that will go into full effect come June 2023. Dealers recognize that following regulations will take a significant amount of companies’ resources, most notably time and money. Auto dealerships are wondering if complying with the FTC Safeguards Rule is worth the investment. Even though complying with the amended rFTC Safeguards rules may appear to be a significant hassle, the repercussions of non-compliance can be far more severe. We’ll examine what auto dealerships can face if they fail to comply with the amended FTC Safeguards Rule.
The consequences auto dealerships can face by non-compliance to the amended FTC Safeguards rules are more severe than a slap on the wrist. It can do considerable harm to their businesses that extend beyond fines and penalties. Consider the following key consequences if auto dealerships fail to comply:
The United States had the highest cost of a data breach in 2022 and the average cost of a data breach was $9.44 million, which is more than $5 million higher than the global average. The more severe FTC Safeguards Rule can aid in bringing that figure under control.
The requirements auto dealerships need to implement for compliance can be overwhelming. Companies should seek advice from experts. Reputable IT support companies can assist in breaking it down, determining where companies stand, and discussing how to get their dealerships compliant. Additionally, IT support companies can assist in developing roadmaps to help auto dealerships manage the roadblocks and move forward with their compliance plan more smoothly.
The FTC Safeguards Rule compliance can appear to be a difficult task, but it can serve companies’ interests. It not only assists auto dealerships in maintaining the clients’ trust and suppliers, but it can also serve as a roadmap for protecting one of their most valuable assets: their data. Non-compliance may appear easier in the short term, however, it can have major consequences for their companies down the line. SpearTip will ensure you exceed the basic compliance standards.
