TPx Updates Security Advisory Services Portfolio to Support Amended FTC Safeguards Rule

AUSTIN, TX - November 28, 2023 - TPx, a leading nationwide managed services provider (MSP) delivering cybersecurity, managed networks and cloud communications, has updated its Security Advisory Services portfolio to support companies that must comply with the recent amendment to the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Safeguards Rule.

The updated amendment centers around a notification requirement: financial institutions must inform the FTC as soon as possible — and no later than 30 days — after discovering a security breach involving at least 500 customers. This includes the mandate that companies notify the FTC if unencrypted customer information has been obtained without an individual’s authorization.

“We continuously monitor regulatory changes to update our security services to ensure a holistic security posture for our Security Advisory Services customers,” said Jonathan Goldberger, TPx SVP Security Practice & Strategic Sales. “Customers have a defensible position if they take certain actions to help navigate the complex and changing FTC Safeguards Rule. That’s why we’ve updated our security portfolio to make maintaining a cybersecurity program aligned with the updated Safeguards requirements easy and affordable for our customers.”

TPx customizes an information security program to a company’s size, industry requirements, complexity, nature of its operations and the sensitivity of their data. Working with organizations of all sizes, TPx provides the cybersecurity tools businesses need to be defensible.

Earlier this year, TPx announced an expanded agreement with ACA International, the Association of Credit and Collection Professionals (ACA), to help its members prepare for the FTC Safeguards Rule. Through this strategic partnership, its members have access to TPx’s broad portfolio of cybersecurity solutions and comprehensive expertise.

“As an Affinity Partner of ACA International we’re grateful for partners, like TPx, that genuinely help ACA members efficiently stay on top of new and updated regulations,” said Scott Purcell, CEO, ACA International. “Trusted partnerships are integral in achieving our overall goal of helping our members succeed.”
