The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is important for brick and mortar or e-commerce businesses. In order for your business to remain PCI-compliant, your retail IT support needs a secure remote access platform to ensure you remain compliant with regulations developed by credit card companies.
The remote access required by your third-party IT support can keep your sales running smoothly—or open a door to a bad actor intent on stealing sensitive customer data.
A growing number of retailers are suffering data breaches and loss of sensitive customer data due to outmoded software, poor authentication practices, password sharing, and remote access policies that have a lot of gaps.
For retail business owners and their IT support, PCI-compliant remote access closes the gaps and resolves problems caused by soft security policies. A secure remote platform can solve a lot of problems for retailers, including:
As a retailer or entrepreneur, your focus is on growing your business, your customer base, and making a profit. Use a secure remote platform to be sure your tech support providers can do the job you hire them to do. Keep your digital business running and your customer information safe.
