The FTC Safeguards Rule requires organizations to protect customer information by encrypting it both at rest and in transit, unless encryption is not feasible and approved alternative controls are documented. For many small businesses, encryption gaps exist simply because systems have grown over time without a clear, documented standard for how sensitive data should be protected.

Triple H Solutions helps organizations take a practical, business-focused approach to encryption. We work with you to identify where customer information is stored, how it moves between systems, and where encryption should be applied to reduce the risk of unauthorized access or disclosure. Our focus is on reasonable safeguards that align with your size, operations, and risk profile—not enterprise-level complexity.

This service also supports situations where encryption may not be technically feasible. In those cases, we help document alternative controls and approval processes in line with FTC expectations, ensuring decisions are intentional, reviewed, and defensible. Encryption practices are then clearly incorporated into your written information security program so they can be consistently applied and reviewed over time.

The result is a clearer understanding of how customer information is protected, reduced exposure from data loss or interception, and stronger alignment with the FTC Safeguards Rule’s data protection requirements.
