Industry experts
Retail industry cyber security advisors
The retail sector is an attractive target for malicious actors the world over. From hacking the Internet of Things (IoT), to ransomware, point of sale (PoS) breaches and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, retail is at the eye of the hackers’ storm.
For cyber criminals, targeting
Whether you need to comply with payment card industry (PCI) standards or deal with a constantly changing threat environment, Sense of Security offers peace of mind through our research-based service offerings.

Compromising online customers’ personal information, such as names, email addresses, home addresses and telephone numbers, doesn’t just put a retailer in the sights of cyber criminals, but also makes them liable to penalties under the notifiable data breach scheme.
