Recommended Information Security Services for Automotive Dealers
Protecting your confidential information isn’t just good business, it’s the law!
Like most businesses that work with private and confidential information, dealers and dealer networks are heavily regulated and governed. And privacy laws designed to protect identities, financial records, and personal privacy come with strict rules – and strong fines for violating them. We can help you stay compliant with our information management solutions and our document shredding services. In addition to your industry regulations governing information privacy, here are a few of the key information security laws that also apply:
-
Gramm-Leach Bliley Act
-
Disposal Rule
-
Red Flag Rules
-
Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards
Gramm-Leach Bliley Act
Protects the privacy of consumer information held by any business that provides financial products or services. It also ensures privacy protections against the sale of any private financial information. Violators can be fined up to $1,000,000.
Disposal Rule
Requires all companies, including auto dealers, to securely destroy consumer information to ensure customer privacy. Proper disposal includes shredding papers and security erasing digital records to ensure consumer reports are not left disorganized and unaccounted for.
