Retail Industry

Security Beyond PCI-DSS Compliance

As technology becomes increasingly prevalent, the retail industry has experienced a corresponding increase in cyberattacks. With thousands of online transactions daily and stolen credit cards being valuable commodities on the underground market, retailers are major targets for hackers. Protecting customer databases and meeting PCI compliance standards are critical for businesses in this sector, but it can be difficult to know where to start.

At Qualysec, we help businesses conduct their operations as usual without worrying about major breaches or compliance audits. Our consultants have a deep understanding of the high reliance on point-of-sale (POS) terminals and the potential for credit card theft that puts the retail industry at a particularly high risk.

Challenges to the Retail Industry

Retail Industry Compliance Requirements

  • Compliance is a critical aspect of the retail industry, with PCI-DSS regulations requiring all companies that handle card data to be compliant.
  • Public retail corporations may also be subject to SOX compliance, which requires additional checks and balances to ensure proper data security. In order to demonstrate proper controls to customers and investors, many retail firms choose to adopt ISO 27001.
  • Adhering to these standards is essential for maintaining the trust and confidence of stakeholders in the retail industry

Retail Challenges

  • The retail industry faces a variety of security challenges due to its large, sensitive databases and point of sale terminals.
  • External threats are not the only concern for IT professionals in this sector.
  • Legacy POS applications, poor development practices, and lack of network segmentation can all create vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit.
  • Even the largest retailers are not immune to these attacks, as demonstrated by breaches at Target and Home Depot.

Potential Impacts:

  • Service Downtime/Financial Loss
  • Reputation Loss
  • Negative Press
  • Breach Lawsuits/Legal Fees
  • Loss of Customer Trust
  • Loss of Sensitive Data
  • Financial Losses
  • Decreased Productivity
  • Brand Damage
  • Compliance Violations
  • Loss of Business Opportunities
  • Increased Security Costs
