FTC Safeguards Rule

A practical compliance framework for non-bank financial institutions to design, document, and maintain a Written Information Security Program (WISP) aligned to the FTC Safeguards Rule.

This service is designed for non-bank financial institutions that fall under the FTC Safeguards Rule, including mortgage professionals, title and settlement services, tax preparers, auto finance providers, and other financial service organizations. Our compliance framework helps you move from regulatory language to a clear, usable Written Information Security Program (WISP) that fits your operations and risk profile.

We work with your team to assess how your current policies, systems, and vendors align with the Safeguards Rule’s core requirements. This includes identifying regulated data, evaluating threats and controls, and defining administrative, technical, and physical safeguards in a way that can be documented and maintained over time. The result is a structured, modular WISP that supports both day-to-day security practices and regulatory expectations.

Beyond documentation, we help establish a sustainable process for training, vendor oversight, incident response planning, and periodic reviews. This framework is built to evolve as your organization, technology, and regulatory environment change—so your compliance effort remains practical, defensible, and manageable.

Our approach focuses on clarity, collaboration, and long-term maintainability, giving leadership and compliance stakeholders a security program they can understand, operate, and confidently present to regulators or auditors when needed.
