If you are a Loss Prevention or Security Leader in a global retail organization, this playbook was built for you.
As a leader responsible for protecting both physical assets and digital data across a distributed retail footprint, you face mounting pressure to align traditional loss prevention programs with modern cybersecurity requirements. Regulatory bodies now expect evidence of integrated risk management, especially where point-of-sale systems, customer data, and third-party vendors intersect. You must demonstrate compliance with data protection laws such as LGPD while maintaining operational continuity across hundreds of locations. Legacy approaches that silo physical security from information security are no longer sufficient, and audit findings increasingly highlight gaps in cross-functional control ownership.
Engaging external consultants to bridge this gap typically costs between EUR 80,000 and EUR 250,000, depending on organizational scale and geographic complexity. Alternatively, dedicating internal teams, requiring at least two full-time equivalents over six months, means diverting resources from frontline loss prevention activities. This comprehensive 64-file playbook delivers the same depth of framework alignment and operational guidance for a one-time cost of $395.
