Common FTC Safeguards Compliance Gaps We Help Fix

Maintaining FTC compliance can be complex and time-consuming

Many businesses covered by the FTC Safeguards Rule face the same recurring compliance and security challenges, especially when internal IT resources are limited or compliance responsibilities are spread across multiple teams. We help identify and address common gaps that can increase risk, expose sensitive customer information, or make compliance harder to maintain.

Common gaps we help address include:

  • Missing or incomplete risk assessments: We help businesses evaluate security risks, identify weaknesses, and support the documentation needed to guide remediation efforts.
  • Lack of a written information security program: We help businesses create, strengthen, and implement the planning and documentation needed to support FTC Safeguards compliance.
  • Weak access controls: We help improve user access management so employees only have access to the systems and information they need.
  • Missing or inconsistent MFA deployment: We help implement multifactor authentication to better protect user accounts and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
  • Encryption gaps: We help businesses identify where encryption is needed and strengthen protection for sensitive customer data in transit and at rest.
  • Limited employee security awareness training: We help train staff to recognize phishing attempts, avoid common mistakes, and handle sensitive information more securely.
  • Unsecured Microsoft 365 environments: We help strengthen email security, account protections, and cloud access settings to reduce risk.
  • Incomplete monitoring and ongoing review: We help businesses improve visibility, strengthen safeguards over time, and maintain a more proactive approach to compliance support.

By addressing these common gaps, we help businesses reduce risk, protect customer financial information, and strengthen the safeguards needed to support FTC compliance.
