Meeting the FTC Safeguards Rule requires more than basic IT support. Businesses that handle consumer financial data need practical guidance, stronger security controls, and ongoing support to reduce risk and maintain compliance over time.
At Next Century Technologies, we help regulated businesses strengthen their IT environments with compliance-minded support that aligns with FTC Safeguards requirements and day-to-day operational needs.
Twenty+ years of responsive service
I have known Tracy Hardin personally and professionally for over 20 years. She and her company, Next Century Technologies, have always been very responsive and proficient for all my IT needs. She started doing the IT work in my small firm and then when I went to a larger firm, transitioned with me to the larger firm. Upon my retirement from the practice of law and engaging in mediations, I knew who I needed to turn to for all my IT needs. Without any reservations whatsoever, I gladly give her a 5-star recommendation.
