Auto Dealerships

From the showroom to the service lane, dealerships run on connected systems — and regulators know it. We keep your DMS available, your customer data locked down, and your store aligned with the FTC Safeguards Rule.

FTC Safeguards Rule — What Dealerships Are Required To Have

The FTC doesn't ask. It requires.

As a dealership handling consumer financial data, these obligations apply to you today — and since 2024, breaches affecting 500+ consumers must be reported to the FTC within 30 days. Here's what the rule demands, and how we cover each item:

A designated "Qualified Individual"We serve as (or support) yours, with documentation regulators expect.
Written risk assessmentsPerformed, documented, and kept current as your store changes.
Multi-factor authenticationCovered by Shield Layer 3 — Duo, Entra ID, Windows Hello.
Encryption of customer dataAt rest and in transit, verified — not assumed.
Continuous monitoringCovered by Shield Layers 1–2 — SentinelOne + Huntress, 24/7.

BUILT FOR AUTO DEALERSHIPS

From first inquiry to the service lane.

Sales, finance, service, and management rely on connected systems throughout the day. We focus on protecting customer information, securing access, and keeping the dealership platforms your staff depend on ready for work.

01

Sales & customer data

Protect the email accounts, workstations, and customer information your sales team uses. Review shared access and account permissions as employees join, change roles, or leave.

02

Service & operations

Support the systems service advisors and managers depend on, including DMS access, connected workstations, and vendor support connections. Prepare recovery procedures for disruptions.

03

Finance & customer information

Map where sensitive financing information lives and who can reach it. Separate everyday sales workflows from records that need tighter access.

SynapseShield

Security priorities for your team.

  • Review access across DMS accounts, email, endpoints, and outside vendors.
  • Prepare a response plan for a dealership platform outage, including manual handoffs.
  • Document security controls and staff responsibilities as the business changes.
