Keep customer-facing systems working—and customer information handled responsibly.
A busy store, restaurant, hotel, or hospitality business relies on systems that cannot simply pause: point of sale, online ordering, bookings, delivery apps, staff accounts, guest or customer information, and outside vendors.
PrivaCore helps customer-facing businesses identify the practical steps that protect day-to-day operations: who has access, how systems are updated, what happens if a POS or booking platform fails, and how staff handle unusual requests. The goal is resilience that fits a fast-moving business.

Familiar moments in a customer-facing business
One reported breach, and one thing to check today
Between late December 2025 and January 2026, Canadian retailer Canada Computers & Electronics suffered a web-skimming attack on its guest-checkout payment form. Malicious code captured card numbers and contact details as customers typed them in; the company says logged-in member accounts were not affected. The retailer is offering credit monitoring, and the incident remains under review by the company.
A QR code is a link, not just a printed square. The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security specifically uses a restaurant menu as its example of everyday QR code use, and warns that a cloned or altered code can redirect a scan to a malicious site, a phishing page, or a malware download.
