Solutions / Auto dealers & repair shops

Dealership data locked down. Shop systems kept running.

If you arrange financing or leases, the FTC Safeguards Rule treats your dealership like a financial institution. Repair shops don’t face that rule, but they hold the same customer details and card payments. We cover both.

Questions from dealers

What dealers and shops ask us first

Our DMS provider handles security, right?

They secure their own system. The Safeguards Rule makes the dealership responsible for its own program, including overseeing providers like your DMS and CRM.

We’re a small lot. Does this apply?

If you arrange financing or leasing, yes. Dealers with records on fewer than 5,000 consumers are spared a few parts, like the yearly written report, but still need the program and the controls.

We’re a repair shop, not a dealer.

Then the Safeguards Rule likely doesn’t apply. Card payments still fall under PCI DSS, and your shop software, email and website are what we protect. The free outside check is the place to start.

Do you work around our busy hours?

Yes. Updates happen after hours, and anything that needs a restart is scheduled with you first.
