Who This Is For

The FTC Safeguards Rule applies to your business

If you handle any type of consumer financial information, you're required by federal law to have a written security plan in place.

🧾

Tax Preparers

H&R Block franchises, independent preparers, enrolled agents — all subject to the Safeguards Rule.

🏡

Mortgage Brokers

Independent brokers and small lending offices that handle loan applications and financial records.

🚗

Auto Dealers

Any dealership that arranges financing or holds customer credit applications.

📊

Accountants & CPAs

Small accounting firms that access client financial records and tax data.

💰

Financial Advisors

Independent planners and small RIAs not covered by SEC/FINRA separately.

🏦

Payday / Loan Shops

Check cashers, payday lenders, and consumer installment lenders of all sizes.

$100K
per incident

The cost of non-compliance isn't theoretical

The FTC actively enforces the Safeguards Rule. Fines reach $100,000 per violation — and officers can face personal liability of $10,000 each. A single breach without a documented WISP can financially destroy a small firm. The cost of having one is a rounding error by comparison.

The Process

Done in 48 hours. No calls required.

FAQs

Common questions

Do I really need this if I'm a one-person shop?
Yes. The FTC Safeguards Rule has no employee-count exemption. If you're a solo tax preparer, a single-person mortgage broker, or a one-man accounting firm — and you handle consumer financial data — you're covered. The FTC explicitly included small businesses in the rule.
Is a WISP the same as a privacy policy on my website?
No — they're completely different. A website privacy policy tells visitors how you collect data. A WISP is an internal operational document that describes how your business protects the financial data you hold. The FTC requires a WISP; a website privacy policy does not satisfy that requirement.
Do I need to be in California for this to apply?
No. The FTC Safeguards Rule is a federal law that applies nationwide. Every state, every city. If your business touches consumer financial data and is subject to FTC jurisdiction, the rule applies to you.
How long does it take to fill out the questionnaire?
About 10–15 minutes. We ask for basic information about your business — what systems you use, how many employees you have, what kind of data you handle. You don't need any technical knowledge to answer the questions.
Are you lawyers? Is this legal advice?
We are not attorneys and this is not legal advice. We're compliance consultants who specialize in helping small financial businesses document their security programs. For legal questions, consult a licensed attorney. That said, the WISP we produce is based directly on the FTC's published requirements and is designed to meet the rule's documentation standards.
What if I already have some security measures in place?
That's great — and your WISP will reflect that. Most businesses already do many of the right things; they just don't have it written down. The FTC requires documented evidence of your program, not perfection. Your WISP will capture what you already do and identify any gaps.
