What Happens If You Ignore FTC Compliance?
Legal Exposure: Violating FTC regulations can result in costly fines, penalties, and legal action.
Reputational Damage: Failing to protect consumer data damages customer trust—and your brand.
Data Breaches: Weak cybersecurity policies and outdated systems leave your business vulnerable.
Audit Failures: Without documentation, training, and controls in place, audits can result in noncompliance findings.
Operational Disruption: Recovering from a breach or investigation wastes time and stalls business growth.
We help you prevent these risks with strategic planning, proper documentation, and technical controls tailored to your business.

Frequently Asked Questions – FTC Compliance Services
Who is required to comply with the FTC Safeguards Rule?
What does a Written Information Security Program (WISP) include?
A WISP outlines how your business protects customer data. It includes access control policies, risk management strategies, data encryption practices, and plans for incident response and employee training.
What penalties can result from noncompliance?
Businesses that fail to comply with FTC guidelines may face fines, civil lawsuits, and mandatory corrective actions. The reputational impact and cost of remediation can be even more damaging than the fines themselves.
Can Shift Computer Services help us pass an audit?
Yes. We provide everything from documentation and training to technical controls that help ensure you're audit-ready. Our ongoing monitoring and support also help you maintain compliance long-term.
How often should we update our FTC compliance program?
Your program should be reviewed at least annually—or sooner if there are changes in your operations, technology stack, or regulatory requirements. We help our clients keep everything up-to-date automatically.
