Cardholder data, loyalty programme profiles and an AI-powered marketing stack, all in one business.

Retailers sit squarely inside PCI DSS for payment data, GDPR or CCPA for customer profiles, and — increasingly — AI-driven personalisation and marketing tools that quietly touch personal data at scale. Supply chain incidents at outsourced logistics or payment providers have repeatedly cascaded into headline retail breaches.

Common questions

Questions we get asked

The ones this page is built around are PCI DSS, GDPR and CCPA / CPRA. Praeferre monitors all of them from a single engine, alongside anything else on the frameworks list and your own internal policies, so you are not running a separate programme per regulation.

Usually not in intent but in evidence. The questions above are the ones that tend to cause a pause — for example: “Could you prove your annual PCI DSS penetration test actually covered this year's infrastructure changes?” Closing that kind of gap, and being able to show it is closed, is what the platform is for.

Most often Penetration Testing, AI Data Leak Protection, Third-Party Risk Management, GRC Automation and DPO as a Service — the modules the questions above map to. They share one data model and one dashboard, so evidence gathered for one framework counts towards the others.

Yes. Custom and internal frameworks are modelled in the same engine as the statutory ones, so an internal standard, a contractual commitment to a customer or a sector code of practice is monitored and evidenced the same way.
