What retailers usually call us about

Taking card payments

Anyone who accepts card payments must meet the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Vulnerability scanning and good basic controls make that much easier.

Your website is your shop window

Online shops are attacked constantly, from stolen logins to malicious code that skims card details at checkout. Regular testing finds the gaps first.

Seasonal scams and phishing

Busy periods such as Black Friday and Christmas bring a surge in fake orders, delivery scams and phishing aimed at your staff and customers.

Customer data and trust

A breach can mean reporting to the ICO, notifying customers and lost trust that takes years to rebuild.

Questions

Retail FAQs

Does Cyber Essentials make us PCI DSS compliant?
No, they're separate standards. Cyber Essentials covers many of the same basic controls, such as firewalls, patching and access control, so it's a strong foundation, and our vulnerability scanning helps with the regular testing PCI DSS expects.
Can you test our online shop?
Yes. Our penetration testing covers websites and web applications, and attack surface management keeps watching everything you expose to the internet.
We're a small shop with no IT team. Can you help?
Yes. We explain everything in plain English, and if an IT company or web developer supports you, we work alongside them. See how we work with you.
Is cyber insurance included with Cyber Essentials?
UK organisations with a turnover under £20 million that certify their whole organisation can opt in to £25,000 of cyber liability insurance at no extra cost for 12 months.
