Case Study: JD Williams achieves PCI DSS compliance and enhanced fraud detection and network visibility with LogRhythm

JD Williams Picks Up More Than Just Compliance When Selecting LogRhythm

JD Williams, a multi-channel retailer in the N Brown Group serving 5 million customers and processing over 6 million card transactions annually, needed a scalable way to meet tier-1 PCI DSS requirements and manage high-volume logging (150–200 logs/sec). Managing logs and security events manually left the company exposed to compliance risk and limited its ability to detect fraud and network problems.

JD Williams selected LogRhythm’s SIEM after shortlisting Gartner leaders and implemented it with partner Nebulas. The platform automated log handling and used built-in Advanced Intelligence rules, enabling PCI compliance, augmenting the fraud team’s analysis, closing unnecessary privileged accounts, and surfacing non-security network issues—improving detection, response times and overall operational efficiency.
