A multi-store retailer in Orange County ran aging POS terminals, shared admin passwords for back-office PCs, and had inconsistent patch cycles across stores. PCI questionnaires were painful every year.
Card data exposure, failed PCI assessments, and fines or processor penalties. A single compromised back-office machine could spread to registers or inventory systems.
Endpoints were not centrally managed. Local admin rights were common. Antivirus was present but not unified. No standardized imaging or device lifecycle for store PCs.
Deployed centralized endpoint management, removed unnecessary local admin rights, and standardized patch windows. Segmented store networks where feasible. Worked with the payment processor on documented PCI responsibilities and evidence collection.
Centralized patching and inventory across locations. PCI attestation streamlined with documented controls. Fewer support incidents related to malware and misconfiguration.
“We finally have one way we manage PCs in every store. Renewals with our processor are less stressful because we can show what we actually do.”
