Micro-IT

Home/Industries/Retail & Hospitality

The register that has to keep ringing.

PCI-compliant networks, segmented guest Wi-Fi, and a register that keeps working through the lunch rush. Multi-site retail is its own discipline — we treat it like one.

The risks we see at retail and hospitality clients

POS downtime during peak

A 20-minute register outage at noon costs more than a year of managed IT. Uptime here is the product.

PCI scope creep

When the POS shares a network with the office, the entire office is in PCI scope. Segmentation is the cheapest fix.

Guest Wi-Fi on the same VLAN

Guest devices on the same network as the POS is the most common audit finding we see. Easy to fix, expensive to leave.

Multi-site visibility

Owners of three or more locations almost never have a single dashboard for what's happening at each store.

The Micro-IT retail stack

A retail or hospitality client on our managed stack gets a PCI-segmented network at every location and 24/7 monitoring on the POS, so the register coming back online is a notification — not a phone call.

  • Managed Site (Standard) at every location
  • PCI-segmented POS VLAN + isolated guest Wi-Fi
  • Managed Endpoint on every workstation, including POS
  • Managed Inbox with anti-phishing
  • 24/7 POS uptime monitoring
  • PCI-aligned policies and self-assessment support

What changes in the first 90 days

Most retail clients we onboard have flat networks, shared Wi-Fi, and no idea which store is having the worst week. By day 90, every location is segmented, every POS is monitored 24/7, and the owner has one dashboard across stores.
