Are you prepared for an Audit? Do you have the necessary policies and procedures in place mandated by the FTC, IRS and the Treasury Department?
Take this simple test to see if you are complying or not.
- Have I designated a Privacy and a Cash Reporting
Compliance Officer?
- Have I had all employees trained in Gramm-Leach
and Patriot Act, and have they signed the proper confidentiality,
background, and security paperwork?
- Have I developed a written Anti-Money Laundering
policy?
- Have I identified and written an information
Security Policy?
- Have I developed and written an opt-out
notice relevant to my business?
- Have I inspected all dealership computers
including my DSP and any third party vendor’s security including
SSL, encryption, firewalls and access to my customers’ information?
- Since I am ultimately responsible for my
third party providers, have I exercised due diligence with respect
to their compliance and have I changed my contracts with them
to reflect this?
- Have I developed written procedures to inform
customers if their information is lost or stolen?
- Does my web site have the necessary privacy
statements and encryption?
- When was the last time we looked at past
and present employees, checked passwords and updated our employee
compliance?
- What is the current status of our computers
with access to the internet as far as Anti-Virus software and
what release is it?
- Have we identified what the FTC considers
to be “Non-Public-Information” and how this affects
work orders, service invoices, parts invoices, and other common
dealership documents?
- Do we have a procedure for a Blocked Transaction?
- Do we have in place a check-out log for
NPI records?
- Do we have a system in place to train all
the new hires to comply with Gramm-Leach and Patriot act? Who
is going to do it? Who has time?
- What is our current method for destroying
our customers’ NPIs and does it meet federal requirements?
- Have we set up indemnification provisions
with current and future Third party providers? Who will have the
time to chase these things?
- Do we have secure NPI receptacles?
- Are we sure we understand OFAC and the implications
to my business?
- Do we have all the above documented and
logged in case of an Audit? Who will be the responsible party
for all this? And, I know we are required to test these policies.
How do we do that and by what method?
These are just some of the policies and procedures you are responsible for.
Maybe it's not as locked-up as you thought. |
