IT & cyber security for retail & shops

A shop lives on its till and its card terminal. Dacros keeps both working, keeps payment data out of your systems where it belongs, and separates the customer Wi-Fi from everything that matters.

Built for your sector

Tills that stay up, card data kept out of scope, and Wi-Fi that serves customers without exposing the back office.

The groundwork is the same in every sector: security settings switched on from day one, devices and backups monitored, and every change written down. The plan is then sized and priced for a business like yours.

What this sector needs5 points

  1. 01 EPOS and card terminals that keep trading through the busy hours
  2. 02 PCI DSS scope kept small: card data in the terminal, not on your network
  3. 03 Customer Wi-Fi properly separated from tills and back-office machines
  4. 04 Stock and loyalty systems backed up, and restored when a device dies
  5. 05 CCTV that meets the ICO expectations covered in our guide

Scope

If it is not business IT

Dacros looks after business technology, so if the machine that needs help is a household or personal one, our sibling practice JorTech handles that kind of repair. If what you are really after is a website or better search visibility rather than IT support, that is our other sibling practice, VerySEOly.
