Cybersecurity Spending: How Saving Today Can Cost You Tomorrow ft. James Ganther (Ep. 12)

If the FTC reviewed your car dealership today, could you prove that your cybersecurity practices match your written policies and protect customer data?

In this episode, host Tony Pietrocola, President and Co-founder of AgileBlue, and co-host Joe Marquette, AgileBlue CEO and Co-founder, speak with James S. Ganther, Owner and CEO of Mosaic Compliance Services, about FTC Safeguards Rule compliance for car dealerships. They explain why written policies and purchased technology aren’t enough without testing and verification. The conversation covers phishing, employee training, risk assessments, qualified individuals, and network vulnerability assessments. James also explains how dealerships can document that their cybersecurity controls work as intended.

Key takeaways:

What the FTC Safeguards Rule requires car dealerships to document, monitor, test, and verify in practice
Why a written information security program must reflect the dealership’s real cybersecurity controls and risks
How phishing and stolen credentials can expose customer records, dealership systems, and daily operations

How qualified individuals, employee training, technology partners, and regular audits support compliance
And more!
