Safer Dealer was built by compliance and cybersecurity professionals who got tired of watching dealerships get burned by consultants who oversold, underdelivered, and disappeared after signing the contract. We know the FTC Safeguards Rule inside and out -- and more importantly, we know how auto dealerships actually operate.

We work exclusively with franchise and independent dealerships across the country. That focus is intentional. Every framework we use, every checklist we run, and every recommendation we make is tailored to the realities of a dealership environment -- not a generic enterprise template pasted from a different industry.

Our team includes former IT directors, vCISOs, and compliance auditors who have guided dealerships through gap assessments, written information security programs, vendor due diligence reviews, and ongoing monitoring programs. We do not sell hardware. We do not manage your IT day-to-day. We stay in our lane so your results stay unbiased.

Safer Dealer compliance team

Built for Dealerships.
Not Adapted for Them.

Dealership-Specific Expertise

We work exclusively with auto dealerships. Every assessment, every WISP, and every recommendation reflects how your business actually runs -- not a generic compliance checklist.

Plain-English Guidance

We translate the FTC Safeguards Rule into clear action steps your team can follow. No legalese, no jargon walls -- just a prioritized roadmap with honest answers to your questions.

A Network, Not a Bottleneck

When you need IT, legal, or insurance support, we connect you to vetted specialists. We coordinate the effort so nothing falls through the cracks and nothing gets duplicated.

Compliance That Lasts

One-time audits fade fast. We build programs designed to hold up to staff turnover, software changes, and evolving regulatory expectations -- not just pass a single review.

Honest Work.
Documented Results.

We hold ourselves to a simple standard: every engagement should leave your dealership measurably more secure and compliant than when we started.

  • No unnecessary upsells -- we recommend only what your gaps actually require
  • We document everything so you have evidence of due diligence on file
  • We stay independent -- no hardware sales, no MSP contracts, no conflicts of interest
  • We move fast -- most gap assessments are completed and delivered within two weeks
