The three commonly cited GLBA rules are the Financial Privacy Rule, the Safeguards Rule, and the Pretexting provisions. Together, they address how covered organizations disclose privacy practices, protect customer information through an information security program, and prevent unauthorized access obtained through deceptive methods.
