// Industries — Auto Dealerships
DMS Uptime. F&I Compliance. Customer Experience.
IT, connectivity, and security for franchise dealerships — DMS integration (CDK, Reynolds, Dealertrack, Auto/Mate), OEM compliance, showroom and service department infrastructure, and the F&I privacy controls Safeguards Rule now requires.
Dealerships run on the DMS. A DMS outage is a closed dealership. F&I handles enormous amounts of customer PII and the FTC Safeguards Rule now specifically regulates how. Service departments live on wireless scanners and tablets. Showrooms need guest Wi-Fi without exposing backend systems. We build it all: DMS uptime, segmented networks for F&I and service, compliant data handling, and the OEM-required infrastructure integrations.
// Value Prop
Every Department Supported, Every Requirement Met
DMS Support & Uptime
Deep integration with CDK Global, Reynolds & Reynolds, Dealertrack, Auto/Mate, and PBS — with redundant connectivity so the DMS never goes down.
FTC Safeguards Rule Compliance
Documented controls, encryption, access monitoring, and incident response aligned to updated Safeguards Rule requirements for auto dealers.
Department-Specific Networks
Segmented networks for F&I (high-sensitivity), service (scanner-heavy), showroom (guest + sales), and parts — with proper isolation between each.
// How It Works
Dealer-Specific Infrastructure, OEM-Compliant Controls
We audit DMS connectivity, network segmentation, Safeguards Rule posture, and OEM integration requirements. We remediate, deploy redundancy, implement compliance controls, and support the DMS environment ongoing. Manager dashboards, F&I compliance, service scanners, and showroom experience all run on infrastructure we stand behind.
// Who It's For
Who This Is For
Franchise new-car dealers (single-rooftop and groups), luxury import dealers, and specialty automotive franchises. Especially valuable for dealer groups standardizing across rooftops and dealers facing Safeguards Rule compliance pressure.
// FAQ
Common questions
Q
Does the FTC Safeguards Rule actually apply to us?
Yes — auto dealers are specifically named in the updated Safeguards Rule. Financial information handling (credit apps, loan paperwork, customer financials) triggers compliance. Documented controls, incident response plans, and annual risk assessments are all required.
Q
Can you work with CDK and Reynolds?
Yes — we integrate with their environments, handle network connectivity to their systems, and support your dealership's responsibilities while they run the DMS application. Large DMS vendors don't take ownership of your network or your compliance — we do.
Q
What about cybersecurity incidents at dealerships (like recent industry events)?
Recent large-scale DMS incidents have shown dealers how dependent they are on DMS uptime — and how fast an incident becomes operational crisis. We engineer for resilience: local fallback procedures, offline-capable workflows for critical functions, and tested incident playbooks.
