Retail PCI DSS Benchmark Profile

Retail averages 52/100 (P25=38, P75=64). POS terminal sprawl across multiple locations and network segmentation complexity are the primary maturity suppressors.

Retail averages $168k annually, driven by the physical infrastructure cost of validating POS terminal compliance across multiple sites, multi-network segmentation assessments, and diverse payment gateway vendor management.

The Retail benchmark is built from 750 programmes — one of the largest samples in the network — providing high statistical confidence in the published maturity, cost, and automation figures.
