BitSight Security Ratings for Retail

Learn how BitSight Security Ratings can help retail companies assess, continuously monitor, and remediate risk across your business.

Cyber Risk Management for Retail

Retail is one of the most targeted industries when it comes to cyber attacks, given the sensitive customer data these organizations possess— like personally identifiable information (PII). In fact, over 50% of global retailers were breached last year.

In today’s economy, an increasing number of larger retailers are shifting their focus to e-commerce to compete with industry giants. This means they are working with multiple vendors to process e-commerce transactions. In order to scale and become competitive online, retailers are going to need to depend on technology from various vendors.

For retail companies, their focus lies not only on benchmarking their security performance against industry peers but also on maintaining their brand and reputation. To do this, they need to prioritize assessing and continuously monitoring the security posture of many third and fourth parties with access to sensitive customer and shopper data— and the potential to compromise it.
