What Minnesota Dealerships
Are Facing Right Now
One outage can shut you down. The CDK Global cyberattack in mid-2024 froze sales, service, and paperwork at thousands of dealerships nationwide — costing the industry hundreds of millions in just two weeks. This incident remains a significant concern for Minnesota dealers, highlighting the importance of having a reliable backup plan to ensure operations and safeguard transactions.
Cybersecurity is another high priority when it comes to IT support for auto dealerships in MN. This industry isn’t spared in harmful phishing emails, ransomware attacks, and credential theft. To outsmart cyber threats, we implement multi-layered security and deliver security awareness training. This approach not only reduces the risk of attacks but also equips your team with the confidence and knowledge to respond effectively if threats arise.
Stricter data protection rules are here to stay. If you handle customer financial data, you must meet FTC Safeguards Rule compliance for auto dealers and follow Minnesota’s data breach notification laws. We make compliance practical — not overwhelming.
PCI DSS v4.0.1 is now in effect. As of March 31, 2025, all “future-dated” requirements for PCI DSS compliance for dealerships in MN are mandatory. If you process card payments in parts, service, or accessories, we help you meet every requirement and keep transactions secure.
