Understanding the FTC Safeguards Rule & Other Regulatory Standards
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces several rules that affect businesses handling consumer information — most notably the Safeguards Rule, which requires companies to develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive security program to protect customer data.
These regulations apply to a wide range of industries — not just banks or credit unions. If your business handles personal financial information (like Social Security numbers, loan applications, or credit histories), FTC Rule Compliance likely applies to you.
ParJenn Technologies helps businesses across Southeast Texas understand their obligations, reduce their risk, and implement the technical and administrative safeguards necessary to meet FTC expectations — including full readiness for audits or cyber insurance qualification.
