Retail
Retailers run on thin margins, peak trading windows and replenishment chains where a day of disruption can erase a quarter's profit.
The threat profile we plan against
- Peak concentration. A disproportionate share of revenue in a handful of trading weeks with zero tolerance for outage.
- Payments and e-commerce. Checkout, payments and fulfilment platforms whose failure is measured per minute.
- Replenishment fragility. Distribution centres and import chains where one node feeds hundreds of stores.
- Brand exposure. Empty shelves and failed deliveries photographed and shared instantly.
The regulatory drivers
Retail obligations arrive mainly through payment schemes, data protection (FADP and GDPR) and the continuity clauses of marketplace and logistics partners, with NIS2 touching larger e-commerce operations in the EU.

Can you plan around our peak season freeze?
Yes, and we should: the programme is timed so analysis and exercising complete before the freeze, leaving peak with a rehearsed on-call structure rather than a project in flight.
What about store-level incidents versus head office?
We build a two tier structure: simple, drilled store playbooks for local incidents, and a head office crisis and continuity organisation for anything that crosses stores, systems or the brand.
Do you cover fulfilment partners?
Yes. Third party fulfilment, delivery and marketplace dependencies are treated as critical suppliers, with tested alternatives where the numbers justify them.
