Case Study: Smithfield's Chicken 'N Bar-B-Q achieves stronger PCI compliance and lower security costs with ControlScan

ControlScan® Managed Security, PCI 1-2-3™ and Smithfield‟s Chicken „N Bar-B-Q®

Smithfield’s Chicken ’N Bar-B-Q, through Cary Keisler, Inc., manages 22 franchise locations across North Carolina and faced a complicated security and compliance environment. With multiple POS systems, inconsistent firewall technologies, and no standard IT approach, the team struggled to achieve and maintain PCI compliance while also dealing with unnecessary recurring costs.

ControlScan provided a unified solution with its Managed Security services and PCI 1-2-3™ program, including SmartSAQ, vulnerability scans, custom policies, and expert guidance. ControlScan standardized security across the 22 locations, simplified PCI compliance, and cut costs by an estimated $85–$105 per store each month through integrated Wi-Fi access points, 4G failover, and elimination of non-compliance fees.
