Data Security Solutions
for the Retail Industry

Retail Data Security

The retail sector relies on reputation and ease of service for customers – whether within high street or on-line stores. With store cards and rewards systems increasingly seen as the tools to secure customer and brand loyalty, the wealth of personal data collected is increasing year on year.

After repeated cyber attacks reported over the past few years and the ever-looming EU General Data Protection Regulation due to come into force in 2018, the retail sector is under pressure to mitigate the risks posed by significant monetary penalties in the event of a data breach.

Insider threat is now considered one of the top three cyber security threats facing industry today and it is widely recognised as unrealistic to expect employees to make the right decisions every time. Whether the insider threat is malicious, opportunist malicious or genuine human error which reportedly accounts for 96% of the risk, there is an increasing need to identify, classify, detect, protect, remediate and report on personal customer and HR data as it flows around the enterprise in real time.
