Secure Your Facility.
Protect Your Members.
Gyms, studios, and sports organizations handle sensitive member data, process thousands of recurring payments, and rely on technology to run daily operations. We secure all of it — including PCI-DSS compliance for payment processing — so you can focus on your members.
Sports & Fitness IT Challenges We Solve
data types we protect
Member Data Protection
Your members trust you with personal info, health data, emergency contacts, and payment details. We ensure that data is encrypted, access-controlled, and backed up.
compliant payments
Payment Security (PCI-DSS)
Recurring billing, POS systems, and online payments all fall under PCI-DSS. We secure your payment infrastructure and keep you compliant.
across all locations
Multi-Location Operations
Whether you have 2 locations or 50, we deliver consistent IT, security, and network management across every facility.
platform compatible
Gym Management Software
We integrate with and secure your gym management platforms — Mindbody, Club Automation, ABC Fitness, Pike13 — without disrupting member experience.
network segmentation
Guest & Public Wi-Fi
Members expect Wi-Fi. We deploy secure, segmented guest networks that keep members online without exposing your business systems.
monitoring
Access Control & IoT
Key fob entry, security cameras, smart equipment — connected devices are attack surfaces. We secure and manage your facility IoT.
What We Handle for Sports & Fitness
Network Infrastructure
Reliable, secure networking across your facility. Separate networks for operations, POS, staff, and guest Wi-Fi — all managed and monitored.
Endpoint & Device Security
Front desk computers, tablets, POS terminals, and staff devices secured with EDR, encryption, and centralized management.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Automated backups of member databases, billing records, and business data with rapid recovery if anything goes wrong.
Email & Phishing Protection
Protect your staff from phishing attacks that target billing credentials, vendor impersonation, and social engineering.
Helpdesk Support
Fast support when your front desk system goes down, your check-in kiosks freeze, or your billing platform has issues.
Compliance Management
PCI-DSS for payments, state data protection laws for member info, and COPPA considerations if you serve minors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my gym need to be PCI-DSS compliant?
Yes. Any business that accepts credit or debit card payments — including recurring membership billing — is required to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Non-compliance can result in fines from your payment processor, increased transaction fees, and liability for card fraud traced to your systems. The specific requirements depend on how many transactions you process and how you handle card data, but no fitness business that accepts card payments is exempt.
What member data do we need to protect?
Fitness businesses typically collect a broad range of sensitive data: full names and contact information, payment card numbers and bank account details for recurring billing, emergency contacts, health and medical information from intake forms, photo IDs and access credentials, and — for businesses serving minors — parental consent records. Each of these data types carries legal protection obligations under state privacy laws, PCI-DSS, and in some cases COPPA. Proper encryption, access controls, and retention policies are required.
Our gym management software handles payments — does that mean we are automatically PCI compliant?
Not automatically. Your software vendor may be PCI-certified for their portion of the payment process, but your responsibility covers the full cardholder data environment — including the network your POS terminal connects to, the computers your staff use, and how card data flows through your facility. A vendor's compliance does not transfer to your systems. We assess and secure the complete payment environment, not just the software layer.
How do you handle cybersecurity for multi-location fitness franchises?
Multi-location businesses require consistent security policies and network configurations across every site — a breach at one location can expose data from all of them. We deploy standardized network architecture, centralized endpoint management, and unified security monitoring across your entire location portfolio. Policy changes and security updates are pushed to all sites simultaneously, eliminating the configuration drift that creates vulnerabilities at individual locations.
Can members safely use our guest Wi-Fi without putting our business systems at risk?
Yes, if the network is properly segmented. Member-facing Wi-Fi must be isolated from your point-of-sale systems, back-office computers, and any network segment that handles payment or membership data. Without segmentation, a member's compromised device can provide an attacker a path into your business network. We deploy and manage properly segmented networks that give members reliable internet access while keeping your operational systems fully separated.
What security risks come with key fob and app-based facility access systems?
Access control systems — key fobs, mobile apps, PIN pads — are networked devices that can be exploited if not properly secured. Default credentials, unpatched firmware, and poorly segmented networks are the most common vulnerabilities. An attacker who compromises an access control system can unlock doors, disable alarms, or use the device as a pivot point into adjacent systems. We inventory, segment, and monitor all facility IoT and access control devices as part of our managed service.
Do waivers and health intake forms create a data protection obligation?
Yes. Liability waivers, health history forms, injury disclosures, and emergency contact sheets all contain personal information that your business is responsible for protecting. If stored digitally, this data must be encrypted and access-controlled. If you use a third-party platform to collect this data, you are responsible for reviewing that vendor's security practices. Several states impose breach notification requirements if this type of personal data is compromised.
What should we do if our point-of-sale system is compromised?
A compromised POS system requires immediate action: isolate the affected device from your network, contact your payment processor and acquiring bank to report a potential breach, preserve logs for forensic investigation, and notify your cybersecurity provider. PCI-DSS requires breach notification to your payment brands within 24 hours of confirmed compromise. We provide incident response support as part of our managed service, including coordination with payment processors and forensic evidence preservation.
