Restaurants, retailers, and hotels process millions of card transactions and collect customer data every day. One compromised POS system, one unpatched ordering platform, one unlocked server room can trigger a breach that costs more than your entire year of profit and the trust of every customer you have.
PCI DSS applies to every business that accepts card payments, from a single location café to a multi-state restaurant group.
Point-of-sale systems at restaurants, retail counters, and hotel front desks are prime targets. Malware can quietly capture card data for months before anyone notices every swipe, tap, and chip read going straight to attackers.
Online ordering systems, reservation platforms, and delivery integrations all connect to your network. A compromise in any one of them becomes your liability even if the vulnerability was never yours to begin with.
High turnover and shared login credentials are the norm in hospitality and retail. Former employees retaining access and phishing attacks targeting managers are two of the most common entry points.
Server closets left unlocked, unsupervised access to back-of-house areas, and unattended terminals in stockrooms are exploited more often than any digital attack vector. Physical access is the easiest breach in the industry.
Six modules built around the real-world threats facing restaurants, retailers, and hospitality operators. Every finding manually validated and mapped directly to PCI DSS requirements.
Take 5 minutes to cross-reference your current operations against a 9 question baseline hygiene checklist covering common physical vulnerabilities, digital blindspots, and operational compliance gaps.
We map your internet-facing systems from an attacker's perspective online ordering portals, reservation systems, loyalty program platforms, and remote management tools.
Credentialed scanning of POS terminals, back-office servers, and network infrastructure. Missing patches and default configurations that expose card data identified and scored.
Dark web intelligence to identify leaked staff credentials and stolen card data from your systems actively circulating before you know a breach occurred.
We assess online ordering systems, customer accounts, and loyalty portals for authentication flaws, injection vulnerabilities, and cardholder data exposure.
POS terminal visibility, server room access, back-of-house controls, and employee access procedures evaluated in person covering every physical point where a breach could start.
Executive summary for ownership and a full technical report with CVSS scores, remediation timelines, and documentation structured for PCI DSS compliance validation.
*This baseline check is informational only and does not substitute for a professional compliance audit.
We define scope and agree on timing that avoids peak service hours and high-volume periods.
We map your digital footprint from the outside ordering platforms, loyalty apps, and third-party integrations.
Credentialed scans of POS systems, back-office networks, and an on-site physical walkthrough of each location.
Every finding reviewed. False positives removed. Real risks confirmed, scored, and mapped to your PCI DSS obligations.
Executive summary and full technical report delivered with a live debrief documentation ready for PCI validation.
Multiple POS systems, shared kitchen management platforms, and online ordering integrations create a wide attack surface. We assess every location, not just the flagship.
Small operators are frequently targeted precisely because attackers assume security is minimal. PCI DSS applies regardless of transaction volume and so do the fines.
Property management systems, booking platforms, in-room technology, and front desk terminals each represent a separate attack vector. A breach at any one can expose the entire guest database.
E-commerce platforms, in-store POS systems, and inventory management tools handling card data all fall under PCI DSS scope. Most retailers have more in-scope systems than they realize.
Web application vulnerabilities, third-party checkout integrations, and customer account systems are targeted constantly. Online card skimming attacks have more than doubled since 2022.
High foot traffic, seasonal staff, temporary POS setups, and multiple third-party vendors make event venues one of the most physically and digitally vulnerable environments in the industry.
