FTC Compliance, End to End
The FTC Safeguards Rule applies to a broad range of financial institutions — including auto dealers, mortgage brokers, tax preparers, and more. We build and operate the controls, documentation, and oversight programs that keep you compliant and your customers' data protected.
FTC Safeguards Rule — Written Information Security Program (WISP)
The FTC Safeguards Rule requires covered financial institutions to develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive Written Information Security Program (WISP) tailored to the size, complexity, and sensitivity of the customer information they handle.
How Neon Shield helps: We draft your WISP from scratch or update your existing document to meet current FTC requirements, incorporating all required administrative, technical, and physical safeguards and keeping it current as your business evolves.
FTC Safeguards Rule — Continuous Monitoring & Log Review
The updated Rule requires covered entities to implement continuous monitoring or periodic penetration testing and vulnerability assessments of information systems, along with ongoing log reviews.
How Neon Shield helps: Our 24×7 SIEM and MDR platform continuously monitors your systems for anomalies, performs log correlation, and surfaces threats — delivering the ongoing monitoring evidence the Rule demands and sending alerts you can act on.
FTC Safeguards Rule — Access Controls & Multi-Factor Authentication
Covered institutions must control who can access customer information and implement multi-factor authentication for any individual accessing any information system — unless an equivalent or stronger control is in place.
How Neon Shield helps: We design and deploy role-based access control, enforce MFA across all in-scope systems, and manage privileged access — fully documented to satisfy FTC audit requirements and reduce your insider threat exposure.
FTC Safeguards Rule — Incident Response Plan
The Rule mandates a written incident response plan that defines roles, responsibilities, internal processes, and external communications for responding to a security event involving customer information.
How Neon Shield helps: We develop your Incident Response Plan, train your team on the playbook, and provide a 24×7 MDR SOC to detect and contain incidents quickly — minimizing both regulatory exposure and real-world damage.
FTC Safeguards Rule — Vendor & Service Provider Oversight
Covered entities must select and retain service providers that maintain appropriate safeguards, and require service providers by contract to implement and maintain such safeguards.
How Neon Shield helps: We conduct third-party vendor risk assessments, review your contracts for required security language, and help you build an ongoing vendor oversight program that satisfies the FTC's third-party risk management requirements.
