Managed IT, FTC Safeguards Rule compliance, DMS integration, and security camera coverage for Tennessee auto dealers — from single-rooftop independents in Knoxville to multi-store dealership groups across the state.
The updated FTC Safeguards Rule (effective 2023) imposes formal infosec program requirements on every dealer that finances vehicles. Most dealers we audit have at least 5-8 control gaps.
When Reynolds, CDK, DealerSocket, or Dealertrack slow down, deals stall. Showroom staff blame "the computer" while customers walk away.
Group dealers run different DMS instances, different POS, different cameras at each rooftop — often with no centralized visibility. One outage = local fire drill.
Inventory theft, vehicle damage in transit, customer slip-and-fall claims — without comprehensive camera coverage and LPR for the lot, you settle disputes blind.
Written information security program, designated qualified individual, risk assessment, employee training, vendor due diligence, incident response plan. Audit-ready documentation.
Network tuning for Reynolds/CDK/DealerSocket performance, workstation optimization for F&I and parts departments, vendor escalation when problems are on their side.
Centralized monitoring across every rooftop, standardized network gear, single-pane support ticketing, consolidated security policy. Group-grade IT without enterprise headcount.
AI-equipped cameras with license plate recognition for the lot, indoor cameras for showroom and service drive, motion-triggered cloud storage, mobile alerts for after-hours activity.
