Standard Guidance

Reach GLBA_FTC_SAFEGUARDS_2023 readiness without rebuilding your policy programme

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Title V) is the US federal financial-privacy law. The 2023 amended FTC Safeguards Rule (effective 9 May 2023 for most provisions) substantially strengthened information security obligations for financial institutions under FTC jurisdiction (including auto dealers, payday lenders, mortgage brokers + many fintechs). Mandates a written Information Security Program with named CISO equivalent, risk assessment, MFA, encryption, regular pen-testing, incident response plan + Board reporting. The Safeguards Rule was further amended in 2023 to require notification of qualifying security events to FTC within 30 days. Quick Policy maps GLBA_FTC_SAFEGUARDS_2023 into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs — and keeps it current between audits.
