Pentest for Franchise Networks
Offensive security in franchisors, franchisee platforms, royalties and tech standardization.
Why now
The real pain
A franchisor lives on the brand — and the franchisee is the brand's entry point. A compromised franchisee is a phishing channel into the entire base. Disclosure leakage, royalty manipulation and co-op campaign fraud are direct impacts.
