Get Started

Qualified Individual

In 2023 the FTC required dealerships to assign a “Qualified Individual” (QI) to implement the required tasks of the Safeguards Rule ISP. The FTC did not define the Qualified Individual’s experience or role: 

“The Qualified Individual...doesn’t need a particular degree or title. What matters is real-world know‑how suited to your circumstances...”  

DealerEducationFX.com, LLC, has extensive knowledge of automotive systems and 25 years of experience designing and implementing dealer compliance software and services making us uniquely qualified to provide the ongoing support that solves dealership compliance and cybersecurity challenges.
