Three (3) Main Takeaways

1. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) Act has clear obligations for dealers when it comes to customer data privacy and security, but many vendors have been slow to comply. This puts dealers at risk of fines if their vendors are not securing customer data properly.

2. Dealers should be taking steps to comply and protect themselves, such as sending letters to vendors requesting compliance confirmation, documenting communications, and considering customer data platforms to better control data flow. Having cyber insurance can also help mitigate risks.

3. Data breaches and fines are inevitable in the industry. When they happen, it will force vendors and dealers to take GLB Act compliance much more seriously. Being proactive now is important to limit risks and liabilities.
