OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- Dealers now have another resource to help them more easily comply with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The Compliance Action Plan (CAP), developed by Universal Underwriters Insurance Co., Member Benefits Services Inc., Continental-National Services Corp. and Dealership Defense LLP, recommends tools that dealers can utilize to help them comply with the Safeguards Rule.
