CyberSmart for franchises
Secure your network and protect your brand without sacrificing franchisee independence, with CyberSmart’s cyber risk management platform.
Franchises are a key target
Cyber incidents affecting franchises are increasing by 60% year-on-year. Meanwhile, the average cost of a data breach to large businesses like franchises now stands at £4.45m.
The challenge
A single location breach can affect your entire franchise network, causing huge financial and brand damage.
Yet, franchises need a solution that allows them to balance central control and consistent security posture with the local independence that makes the model great.
This is where CyberSmart can help.
