Safeguards Course Toolkit and Safeguards Checklist

by Paula Frendel - Posted 2 years ago

The deadline for compliance with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) “Safeguards Rule” is December 9, 2022. NJIADA is here to help you meet and understand that deadline. We designed this checklist to assist automobile dealers on a budget to comply with the FTC Safeguards Rule. However, the FTC is clear that larger organizations have more requirements based on their size. No matter your size, do not just go out and get a one size fits all program. The FTC has been clear that an unfollowed compliance program offers you no protection from enforcement. You should have the following in place no later than December 9.

Download this free checklist to help ensure your dealership complies fully with the FTC's Safeguards Rule.
