Scope questions

Industry alone does not establish legal applicability. Confirm location, activities, role, data and relevant thresholds.

  • Where does the organization operate, and which regulator, license, permit or contract governs the activity?
  • Which business activities, data types and organization roles does the document describe?
  • Do the relevant thresholds or exceptions change which requirements apply?

Unknown answers stay unresolved. Document detection does not answer these questions for you.

FTC Safeguards Rule

16 CFR Part 314

Certain financial institutions under FTC jurisdiction must safeguard customer information; activities and regulator routing determine coverage. Banks supervised under other GLBA regulators must be routed to their own rules. An MSP is not automatically a covered financial institution: assess customer-contract duties and any external Qualified Individual role separately from direct institutional duties.

Jurisdictions: US-FEDERAL

Research applicability questions
  • Does the organization engage in a financial activity covered by the applicable GLBA rule?
  • Is the organization subject to FTC jurisdiction for the activity being assessed?
  • Does the organization maintain customer information covered by the rule?
  • How many consumers’ customer information records do you maintain, and do any section 314.6 exemptions apply?

FTC Red Flags Rule

16 CFR Part 681

Evaluate personal/household accounts with multiple transactions and other accounts with reasonably foreseeable identity-theft risk; other regulators use their own rules.

Jurisdictions: US-FEDERAL

Research applicability questions
  • Does the organization meet the rule’s financial-institution or creditor definition under FTC enforcement?
  • Which accounts involve multiple consumer transactions or reasonably foreseeable identity-theft risk?
