FTC Red Flags Rule Update


If you are unfamiliar with the Federal Trade Commission's Red Flags Rule then download a copy at www.ftc.gov/redflagsrule. Basically, if you are a creditor or have "covered accounts" then you must comply with the Rule.

Doctors, Dentists, and Veterinarians must all comply as they have lost their battle with the FTC, at least as of this date.

The best way to become compliant is by using IdBusiness and their online Red Flags Compliance module. It not only will assist you in creating your policy but trains your employees, and notifies your vendors as well.

Business owners may also want to download the following book "Protecting Personal Information - A Guide for Business" at www.ftc.gov/infosecurity

If you find that you do not need a Red Flags Policy, then I can assist you with setting up a Non-Public Information (NPI) policy at no direct cost to your company. Although, certain restrictions apply so give me a call.
