Chief Information Officer and co-founder of Decision Logic, and founder of Logic Shield.

In 1999, Jim identified the possibilities of the SaaS Model as a disruptive technology in the restaurant industry. He capitalized on this by co-developing Decision Logic. Prior to this, Jim was ITS Director at Concord Enterprises, a multi-unit Restaurant and Hotel franchise with over 50 units across 13 states.

In 2008, Jim noted the number of restaurants asking for help with their PCI compliance.

What do you like most about Logic Shield as a company, and as a product?

Image

Our commitment and dedication to protecting our customer’s brand. The Logic Shield offering is a fully comprehensive PCI compliance service that you can either subscribe to in its entirety or a la carte as your needs dictate. Plus, our customer service is unmatched.


What is the biggest misconception businesses have about PCI compliance?

Image

A lot of companies believe that if their POS software is compliant and they pass their external scans, then they are compliant. This is almost never the case.


What do you wish more people knew about brand security?

Image

Your brand IS your business. Period. If you do not take the necessary steps to protect it, both within your organization and your franchisees, you are putting your business at risk. Armor is only as strong as its weakest point, and this applies to every store within a brand. Don’t let a franchisee cost you because they don’t understand or fully implement PCI compliance.
