Mobile security in retail

In retail, mobile serves two uses. Teams use it in store: checkout devices, stockroom scanners, sales tablets. Customers use it to shop, through the loyalty and ordering app.

On the team side, devices handle in-store payments. On the customer side, the application holds personal data and sometimes a saved card. In both cases, this data is regulated and exposed to fraud.

Mobile applications and shopping from a smartphone

The context

Why retail is exposed on both sides

Mobile checkout sometimes runs on off-the-shelf smartphones or tablets, not on dedicated payment terminals. The PCI MPoC standard, which governs these checkout solutions, like similar standards, requires checking the integrity of the application and the device.

On the customer side, the loyalty application holds purchase history, contact details and sometimes a saved card: a target for account takeover and data resale.

Fraud or a data leak costs twice: in direct losses, and in customers who turn to other retailers.

The stakes

What threatens commerce

Checkout on consumer devices

An off-the-shelf smartphone or tablet can be infected by malware or rooted, exposing the payments it processes.

Account takeover

Customer apps targeted by phishing, reused credentials and display overlays that capture passwords.

Shared devices, fleet expanded at short notice

Devices are shared by rotating teams, and the fleet grows during peaks with seasonal staff.
