networks span thousands of locations, each processing payment card data through point-of-sale systems connected to corporate infrastructure. A single compromised store can provide a path to every other location in the estate. - POS malware - Card-skimming networks - Ransomware on stores - Third-party service persistence Schedule a Demo[Back to Control](/solutions/control) ![Retail operations and customer data protected offline](/assets/oss-industry-retail-DXkcOdMt.jpg) Exposure How it worksExplore moreQuestions The exposure in numbers 01 Payment network isolation from store IT 100% Payment network isolation from store IT 02 Persistent vendor paths to POS systems Zero Persistent vendor paths to POS systems 03 Store network zones with independent governance 4 Store network zones with independent governance 04 PCI DSS 4.0 network segmentation evidence Full PCI DSS 4.0 network segmentation evidence The Challenge ## Retail networks are distributed and high-value targets. 01 ### POS Compromise Point-of-sale systems across thousands of locations create a massive attack surface for payment card data theft. 02 ### Flat Store Networks Many retail locations share a single network for POS, back-office, CCTV, and guest Wi-Fi, enabling lateral movement from any entry point. 03 ### Supply Chain Risks POS software vendors, payment processors, and maintenance contractors each create persistent pathways into the payment environment. Retail > When a guest Wi-Fi access point and a payment terminal share the same network, every customer browsing the internet is a potential path to payment card data. The Scenario ### Scenario: Estate-Wide POS Compromise Attackers compromise a POS software update server and distribute a modified update containing memory-scraping malware. The update propagates to 1,200 stores over a routine maintenance cycle. The malware captures payment card data from POS memory and exfiltrates it through the store internet connection, which shares the same network as the POS systems. Over eight weeks, 4.3 million payment card numbers are stolen. With Control, POS networks are physically separated from store internet connectivity. The malicious update cannot exfiltrate data because the POS network has no path to the internet. Software updates are delivered through controlled, authorised transfer windows with integrity verification. "Our PCI assessor told us our segmentation was compliant. But it was VLAN-based. When the attackers compromised the switch management interface, every VLAN boundary in the estate became meaningless." Module deployment · retail network ## Where each Control module is deployed across stores, e-commerce, payments and vendors. Retail estates carry an internet edge, a corporate office, store and POS systems, an e-commerce platform and the cardholder data environment that handles payments.

### Sovereign Payment Data All payment system configurations and cardholder data paths remain within the agreed jurisdiction in secured Firevault Bunkers. 02 ### Multi-Party Update Control POS software updates and configuration changes require sign-off from both IT operations and security teams before deployment. 03 ### PCI DSS 4.0 Evidence Automated compliance logging generates continuous evidence for PCI DSS 4.0 network segmentation requirements across the entire estate. 04 ### Cellular Failover Out-of-band management via cellular connectivity ensures control over store networks independent of primary WAN connections. 05 ### Estate-Wide Audit Trail Every access, update, and authorisation across all locations is recorded in centralised, tamper-proof logs. 06 ### Rapid Store Recovery Verified baselines of POS configuration enable rapid restoration of compromised stores without relying on production systems. Demo to Live ## Adoption Guide Step 1 #### Estate Network Assessment Audit network architecture across representative store locations to identify payment path exposure and segmentation gaps. Step 2 #### Store Zone Architecture Design standardised store network zones for POS, back-office, CCTV, and guest access with Control modules at each boundary. Step 3 #### Pilot Store Deployment Deploy in a representative group of stores with full payment path isolation, controlled updates, and compliance logging. Step 4 #### Estate-Wide Rollout Phased deployment across all locations with centralised management, verified configuration baselines, and continuous PCI DSS evidence generation.
