IT Security for Retail

Black Friday and Cyber Monday may steal all the retail headlines, but IT security is a year-round concern. Protecting physical and digital properties from thieves is crucial to your balance sheet – and the long-term loyalty of your clients.

As your businesses adopts more technology to improve the shopping experience for customers, your IT environment increases in complexity. And the more system you have in place, the more potential attack surfaces are available to cybercriminals.

Fidus can help you identify and resolve these vulnerabilities, using real-world hacking tools and techniques. The weaknesses we detect are exactly the same as those a dedicated hacker will use to attack your business. Fidus can assist with:

• Penetration testing to reveal security vulnerabilities in your data centre, on your ecommerce website, and even on the shop floor.
• Security and permissions audits to ensure unused credentials cannot be exploited.
• Physical security assessments to confirm IT assets are properly protected in your stores and at head office.
• Social engineering tests to ensure staff are prepared to deal with attempts to steal information.
• Phishing email simulations to test responses to suspicious messages.
• “Red team” simulations to test how your ecommerce websites respond to a realistic cyberattack.
• Response readiness assessment to check your processes for dealing with a hacking.

Fidus consultants will identify security weaknesses and formulate an action plan for addressing them. We’re here to see the process through to its conclusion.
