WHAT’S INSIDE
Six Questions. Ten Minutes. Clear Next Steps.
Each question maps to a specific section of the FTC Safeguards Rule with a clear "what good looks like" example, common gaps we see in Texoma dealerships, and a quick self-check you can do today.
QUESTION 01
Written Information Security Program
Do you have a documented WISP current within the last 12 months? Most dealerships we talk to don't — and don't know their CPA will ask for one.
QUESTION 02
Multi-Factor Authentication
Is MFA enforced on every system handling customer information — including the DMS, CRM, email, and finance manager logins?
QUESTION 03
Security Risk Assessment
Have you completed a documented SRA in the last 12 months? The FTC considers anything older than that stale.
QUESTION 04
Written Incident Response Plan
If the DMS goes down on a busy Saturday, do you have a written plan — and has it been tested? The FTC asks for both.
QUESTION 05
Vendor Security Management
Do you have current security agreements on file for every vendor with access to customer data — including marketing, BDC, and F&I vendors?
QUESTION 06
Employee Security Awareness Training
Do all employees handling customer information receive documented annual training — with attendance records on file?
Built In Durant. For Texoma.
Why we built this
Button 108 is a Durant-based managed IT and cybersecurity company serving dealerships, healthcare practices, construction firms, and small businesses across Texoma. The FTC Safeguards Rule isn't a sideline for us — it's part of our core dealership service offering.
We built this assessment because most dealerships we talked to had heard "the FTC is enforcing now" but had no concrete way to know where they actually stood. The assessment is what we wish someone had handed us when the rule first changed.
No sales pitch in the document — just the actual assessment
Mapped to the specific regulatory language at 16 CFR Part 314
Includes scoring guide so you know how serious your gaps are
Optional follow-up: a free 30-minute review of your results
