Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Title V (Privacy Rule, Safeguards Rule, and pretexting provisions)
GLBAGLBA requires financial institutions to give privacy notices, let consumers opt out of most sharing with nonaffiliated third parties, and protect customer information. The FTC's 2021 Safeguards Rule amendments require a detailed security program (qualified individual, encryption, MFA), and since May 13, 2024 require notice to the FTC of incidents involving 500 or more consumers. The SEC's 2024 Regulation S-P amendments require incident response programs and 30-day customer breach notice (compliance Dec. 3, 2025 for larger and June 3, 2026 for smaller entities).
