FTC’s Safeguards Rule

This includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards for any record containing nonpublic personal information.

Failing to comply with these regulations can result in significant fines and even imprisonment. Our services include setting up multifactor authentication (MFA), continuous system monitoring, and extensive security training for your staff. By partnering with Guardian IT, you ensure your firm’s compliance with the Safeguards Rule, protecting your data from unauthorized access and potential penalties.
