FTC Safeguards Rule Readiness Rating

The Safeguards Rule, enacted in 2002 under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, requires covered financial institutions to "create, execute, and maintain" an information security program that contains specific "administrative, technical, and physical safeguards" to protect customer information.

In December 2021, the FTC amended the Safeguards Rule to expand its definition of a financial institution to include CPA firms.

The revised FTC Safeguards Rule took effect on June 9, 2023.
