DQ Franchisee Not Bowing To PCI Challenges
PCI compliance has become an issue of great concern for quick-service restaurants within the last year. Roundtable Corporation, a multiunit Dairy Queen Franchisee, faced several challenges because of these numerous components required for PCI compliance. Roundtable’s IT department felt it was in their best interest to let SecureConnect manage their Internet security and network support.
“SecureConnect has the resources in place to make the transition as seamless as possible, and they were also recommended through DQ Corporate,” says Mike Stump, director of information technology at Roundtable. The franchisee was introduced to SecureConnect through a Dairy Queen Webinar.
The security benefits associated with maintaining PCI compliance are vital to the long-term success of all merchants who process card payments. This includes continual identification of threats and vulnerabilities that could potentially impact the organization. Most organizations never fully recover from data breaches because the loss is greater than the data itself.
