Safeguards “The Works” package has the core resources you need to help jump start your Safeguards project before the June 9th deadline. This new package is available at $999. Here's what's inside: IGNITE’S ORIGINAL SAFEGUARDS TOOLKIT ISP Safeguards Overview 10-Step Plan for Success Internal Questionnaire for Risk Assessment List of Mandatory Requirements for your ISP RISK ASSESSMENT MODULE “ The Works ” also contains a risk assessment outline with questionnaires, tips, and reminder lists to help your teams through the process. This will help you ensure that you are accurately and thoroughly reviewing all of your potential risk points so you can target the areas that need it most! From the FTC – “You cannot formulate an effective information security program until you know what information you have and where it is stored. After completing that inventory, conduct an assessment to determine foreseeable risks and threats – internal and external – to the security, confidentiality, and integrity of customer information. Among other things, your risk assessment must be written and must include criteria for evaluating those risks and threats.” INFORMATION SECURITY PROGRAM (ISP) MODULE The FTC says that an “Information security program means the administrative, technical, or physical safeguards you use to access, collect, distribute, process, protect, store, use, transmit, dispose of, or otherwise handle customer information.” A written ISP is a major requirement of the rule and also one of the toughest documents to write yourself. In this 70-page document, Ignite provides: Requirements Listing for Your Safeguards ISP Encryption Policy Email Policy Mobile Device Policy Data Retention Policy Policy for Employees Working Remotely Physical Security Policy Incidence Response Policy and much more! SAFEGUARDS INCIDENT RESPONSE PLAN Another mandatory Safeguards requirement is a written Incident Response Plan. In “The Works,” Ignite provides a practical outline to the Incident Response Plan. It organizes those requirements into a single document, from defining the plan’s goals to documenting the postmortem after an incident. It also helps establish a team of initial responders to an incident with defined roles, responsibilities, and means of communication. SERVICE PROVIDER/VENDOR MANAGEMENT The Service Provider/Vendor Management module is an important addition to “The Works.” Based on years of experience helping dealers and finance companies manage third party relations, this document is essential to ensure you manage external risks on an ongoing basis. It is our attempt to provide guidance that is both effective, practical, and can be customized for businesses of varying size and complexity. Included in this section, you will find: Safeguards Letter to Service Provider Service Provider Questionnaire Safeguards Service Provider Contract Amendment Service Provider/Vendor Management Policy Automotive industry professionals can save themselves weeks of work by taking advantage of Ignite’s one of a kind package ONLINE now for just $999.
