Providing multi-factor authentication (MFA) distinguishes you from competitors and can help build stronger relationships with your customers.
As technology solution providers (TSPs) serving retail customers, you play a vital role in helping businesses build strong and lasting relationships with their customers. One key component is customer loyalty programs, which offer incentives to encourage repeat purchases and foster brand loyalty. However, the sensitive data collected in these programs, such as names, addresses, purchase histories, and other personal information, makes them a prime target for cybercriminals. Additionally, an estimated $48 billion of unspent loyalty points are up for grabs, making this type of fraud a potentially risk-free and enriching opportunity for scammers.
The Risks of Data Breaches
A data breach exposing customer information can devastate retailers and their customers. Not only can it lead to financial loss due to fraudulent transactions, but it can also tarnish the retailer’s reputation and erode customer trust. In addition, regulatory fines and legal liabilities can be substantial, further impacting the business.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security measure requiring users to provide multiple forms of identification to access an account. By adding MFA to your retail customers’ loyalty programs, you can significantly enhance the security of their sensitive data and protect them from unauthorized access.
