The FTC Safeguards Rule
Customer financial data brings real security requirements. We help you put the controls and the written program in place.
FTC Safeguards Rule
IT and security for auto dealerships.
A dealership runs on its DMS, its phones, its cameras and a network that stretches from the showroom to the service drive. f8 Tech keeps it all running and helps you meet the FTC Safeguards Rule.
What dealerships deal with
Many buildings, one network
Sales, service, parts and the body shop all need to connect, securely and reliably.
Cameras on the lot
Inventory sits outside all night. We install and support the cameras that watch it.
OEM requirements
Manufacturers have their own expectations for networks and equipment. We know them.
What we take care of
On an IT Care Plan or alongside your own team with co-managed IT.
- Help desk for sales, service, F&I and the office
- Network, wireless and structured cabling across every building
- Security cameras and access control, Texas-licensed
- Security and documentation for the FTC Safeguards Rule
- Phones, Microsoft 365, backup and recovery
