Auto dealer IT — F&I data, DMS, and the lot cameras that actually work.

Auto dealers commonly face FTC Safeguards Rule obligations for customer financial information in F&I, plus PCI DSS expectations wherever card data is accepted. SAINT aligns identity, encryption, logging, network segmentation, and incident readiness to that dual baseline. We do not sell PCI QSA certifications or FTC determinations — readiness and evidence only. Pillars: /compliance/ftc-safeguards and /compliance/pci-dss.

Threat profile

What hits auto dealers.

Dealership threats: ransomware on DMS workstations, BEC against floor-plan and manufacturer payment threads, shared F&I logins, unmanaged lot Wi-Fi bridging to office VLANs, and camera systems that don’t retain usable footage after a lot theft. Multi-rooftop groups inherit inconsistent MFA across brands.

What we deploy in this environment.

Auto Dealers in Lincoln vs Omaha

  • Lincoln, NE

    Lincoln — primary market.

    Lincoln dealerships and satellite rooftops need Safeguards/PCI-aware IT with local response — not a national dealer MSP that can’t reach south Lincoln by afternoon. Hickman-based; flat-rate.

    Lincoln, NE hub

  • Omaha, NE

    Omaha-metro — secondary market.

    Omaha and Council Bluffs dealer groups run multi-site identity and lot-camera problems at scale. We schedule metro work; same stack language for Safeguards questionnaires and cyber-insurance.
