Continuous Penetration Testing for Retail Businesses
Retail businesses are a prime target for cyber attacks due to the nature of information collected from customers and physical inventory. Business processes and human interaction increases risk of exposure to both common and critical vulnerabilities.

Why Continuous Testing
Financial Security
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
Continuous penetration testing ensures cardholder data environments are consistently protected from evolving threats, maintaining compliance and reducing the risk of breaches.
Third-Party Risks
Retailers often rely on third-party vendors for payment processing, inventory management, and marketing. Continuous testing ensures that vulnerabilities in their systems won't compromise your own.
Minimizing Downtime
Cyberattacks can cause downtime that disrupts business operations, leading to lost sales and revenue. Continuous testing creates resilient systems that can recover quickly and minimize impact of any disruptions.
Improved Operations
Expert-driven Offensive Security Platform
Continuous security testing using a hybrid method of automation and expert penetration testers to identify, verify, and simulate threats to your organization 24/7 from one platform.
Safeguarding Reputation
Customer trust is critical in retail. Continuous testing minimizes vulnerabilities that could lead to a breach, helping maintain strong brand image and customer loyalty.
Adapting to Evolving Threats
Attackers constantly develop new methods to exploit vulnerabilities, including ransomware, SQL injection attacks, POS malware, and more. Continuous testing simulates real-world threats to help you address weaknesses before they're exploited.
Price Of Security
Retailers Transform Their Security Strategy
With the growing frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks targeting sensitive customer data and payment systems, one-time security assessments are no longer enough. By incorporating continuous penetration testing to proactively identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, retailer's ensure they are mitigated quickly. By staying ahead of cybercriminals, retailers maintain customer trust and loyalty, comply with industry regulations, and protect their reputation. Safeguarding critical assets and sensitive data can help prevent downtime and costly breaches.
