Shop owners must understand that it is time that someone has to pay attention, educate and protect your clients as it relates to ownership and access to their data. Privacy, Data Ownership and Cyber-security.
Policy makers don’t understand how data affects repairs
We must ensure that our policymakers don’t overreact or reach too far.
We need to be careful because once the bill gets signed it will take the next five years for them to revisit it. We will be stuck with that policy
Data Access, Think Telematics?
One of the pieces not covered in the 12-year right repair service information battle
As a shop owner, we hear it but we don’t know what it’s all about
The legislation issues concerning Privacy, Data Ownership and Cyber-security.
Cyber-security protections are growing in California
A major concern as an industry is overreach and we are collateral damage
In an effort to protect consumers, the policymakers go too far.
Regarding privacy, there must be some separations
3rd party providers
OEM Websites
We don’t want anything to interfere with our current business model.
The industry must get behind efforts being mounted in Washington
Developing coalition, Writing campaign, and Visits to Washington
Part of this is also education when the policymakers go home, they must hear from shop owners and understand that access is critical for the consumer and to maintain safe and reliable transportation
The previous Administration ordered a guideline for cyber-security which allowed for 50 state laws potentially dealing with our issues which is not workable
We need the Federal Government to lay out guidelines for cyber and privacy
Owners with multiple shops will have problems if their shops are located at different states.
California Bill
It is about dealing with consumer privacy.
A bill passed last summer is going to impact businesses
This could happen to different states
Michigan tapped into this
Privacy is important
Consumers deserve privacy
Within the framework of a vehicle, rolling smart technology privacy becomes a huge issue
We need to have a reasonable and effective way to handle the motoring fleet
Some consumers do not want delicate data on their vehicles shared
Insurance companies now have access to some data through 3rd party providers
As an aftermarket, we need to be involved, at a reasonable cost, in order to fix these vehicles as we have without compromising our business model.
$450 – $800 Billion Dollar Industry regarding 3rd party data monitoring cloud-based
Cyber-security
On the root level, protecting your WiFi
Having a process as it comes as a security policy
OEMs have to provide shop owners a path
Everyone is trying to figure out their place as we move forward including new car dealers
Privacy piece will drive everything and data access will have to be addressed at some point

By Joe Marconi in Joe's Blog4 commentsA recent study, done by Harvard Business School, concluded that the real problem with attracting and retaining employees has more to do with the workplace environment, not pay or benefits. While the study did find that an adequate pay plan and offering an attractive benefits package did help with recruiting and retention, it’s not enough to satisfy the needs of employees, especially those of front-line workers.
