Cybersecurity for
Franchises
Protect distributed operations, ensure consistent security across locations, and manage vendor risk with security services designed for franchise systems.
The Threats Targeting Franchises & Multi-Location
Understanding the specific cyber threats facing your industry is the first step to effective defense.
Lateral Movement Across Locations
Attackers compromise one location with weak security and pivot across the network. A single franchisee can become the entry point to corporate systems.
POS & Payment Compromise
Distributed POS systems across dozens or hundreds of locations multiply payment card risk. Each terminal is a potential target for card-stealing malware.
Vendor & Third-Party Risk
Shared vendors, payment processors, and IT providers create systemic risk. A compromised vendor can affect every location simultaneously.
Building Customer Trust Through Security
Franchise security requires balancing central standards with distributed operations. Your brand reputation depends on security consistency across every location.
