Every register open. Even on the biggest day.
Retail runs on days you cannot repeat. The job: the peak holds, the cards stay safe, the doors stay open, because the paths to the tills were tested before the rush.
The biggest day holds. Every hour of it.
Peak trading day, hour by hour. Testing found the card-skim route at checkout and closed it before the doors opened.
What retail is up against.
Hover or select any one to see what it means.
A surface that never closes
Online storefront, hundreds of stores, warehouses, kiosks, and corporate: all live, all reachable, none of it ever fully inventoried.
The payment / POS path
The card reader at the till, the gateway, the CDE behind it: the path that turns a foothold into mass card theft.
E-commerce logic flaws
Coupon stacking, price manipulation, refund abuse: valid requests that break the rules of your business, not the rules of HTTP.
The third-party till
Payment processors, tag managers, fulfilment, marketing scripts: each integration bolted onto checkout is a path to your customer.
Peak-season change freeze
Patches deferred, exceptions granted, and a code freeze that runs straight through the most valuable, most attacked weeks of your year.
Every route converges on the same prizes: the cards, the customers, the doors.
What you get: every path to them, mapped and ranked by what actually reaches the registers.
Red teaming →Testing tuned to the trading calendar.
Before the peak, across every store and channel, and continuously on the platforms your customers touch.
Payment path, e-commerce app, and store network tested against the logic and segmentation flaws that turn one foothold into mass card theft.
Explore →Physical-plus-digital, chained from store floor to corporate to CDE, the way the 12-day breach actually happened.
Explore →The processors, scripts, and integrations on your checkout page, and the access your vendors hold, tested before a skimmer finds them.
Explore →Every store, kiosk, and web property kept in view between tests, so the asset you forgot isn’t the one they find.
Explore →The bar the card brands set, and how we test to it.
PCI sets the floor. The real bar is whether one compromised path can reach every till you run.
Req 11: external, internal and segmentation testing, at least annually.
We test every path from storefront to cardholder data, and prove the segments hold.
Customer and loyalty data protected by demonstrable measures (Art 32).
We test where that data can actually be reached, before regulators or attackers do.
Security and availability commitments under the Trust Services Criteria.
We test what your monitoring actually catches when someone moves.
to global data access at a $100B retailer. Our red team, not an attacker.
Four operators chained physical and digital across stores, past $329M of security spend, undetected, so every one of those paths could be closed.
