Overview: This section summarizes security and governance measures implemented to protect consumer data and to address weaknesses identified in the FTC enforcement context.

During this period, incident response and remediation focused on preventing recurrence through stricter onboarding and monitoring.

Program Highlights (2006): Program highlights include stronger business-customer verification, fraud analytics expansion, improved access monitoring, and clearer escalation pathways for suspicious onboarding activity. Progress is reviewed through recurring control and compliance reporting. References: [FTC matter], [Public notice]. For questions: [contact].
