IT challenges for retail and ecommerce businesses

Retail runs on a mix of technology: POS terminals, EFTPOS, barcode scanners, receipt and label printers, stock systems, Wi-Fi and an online store. Many businesses also trade across more than one site, or from a shop and a warehouse.

Every one of those pieces needs to work at the same time, usually on the busiest day of the week. A slow network or a dead POS means queues, lost sales and frustrated staff.

Retail is also a target. Online stores attract card testing, fake orders and login attacks, and staff email is used for supplier invoice fraud. Customer details and order history need to be protected.

Compliance and obligations we help you meet

Retailers handle card payments and customer details, which come with responsibilities. Your obligations depend on how you take payments and how big your business is.

  • Card payments and PCI DSS: if you accept card payments, your bank or payment provider will expect you to follow the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. We help secure and segment the network and devices involved, and help you answer the technical questions on your annual self-assessment.
  • Ecommerce security: online stores need regular updates, strong admin logins and monitoring. We keep your platform patched and backed up, and use a hosted payment gateway so card details do not touch your server where possible.
  • Privacy Act 1988 and Notifiable Data Breaches scheme: businesses with annual turnover over $3 million, and some smaller ones, must protect personal information and report eligible data breaches. Even if you are exempt, customers expect their details to be kept safe.
  • Email marketing: the Spam Act 2003 requires consent and an easy way to unsubscribe. We can help set up your email platform and website forms so consent is recorded.
  • Ransomware payment reporting: under the Cyber Security Act 2024, businesses with annual turnover over $3 million must report any ransomware payment to the Australian Signals Directorate within 72 hours. Good backups and security make it far less likely you ever face that choice.
