Safe browsing and content filtering
Island enforces URL filtering, category-based blocking, and malware protection directly in the browser. On every device, on every network.
Island for Retail
Secure every store. Protect every transaction.
Island gives retail organizations enterprise-grade browser security that works the way retail does, protecting customer data and systems across every device, every location, and every shift, without slowing down the business.
The problem
Retail runs on the browser. Traditional security tools weren't built for that and leave gaps that put customer data and payment systems at risk.
The solution
Island secures retail operations where the work actually happens, in the browser itself. That means retailers can protect sensitive workflows without changing how anyone works.

FAQ
Does Island work on shared and seasonal worker devices?
Yes. Island supports managed and unmanaged devices, including shared store endpoints and personally-owned devices, through the Enterprise Browser, the Island Extension for existing browsers, and Island Desktop. Seasonal workers and contractors can be onboarded quickly and offboarded just as fast.
How does Island protect customer and payment data?
Island governs data at the moment of use, controlling copy, paste, download, upload, print, and screenshot based on content, context, and identity, before data leaves the browser. This applies across POS systems, SaaS tools, and any browser-based retail application.
Can Island replace our VDI deployment?
For most retail organizations, yes. Island delivers secure, browser-based access to retail apps and internal systems without the infrastructure cost, performance penalties, or management overhead of VDI. Organizations can shift SaaS and web workloads out of VDI and see immediate cost savings and a better user experience.
Does Island require a network overhaul to deploy?
No. Island is deployed through the browser or a lightweight extension. There is no network reconfiguration required, and coverage follows adoption incrementally, starting with immediate policy control and visibility from day one.
What happens to enforcement when employees are working outside the store network?
Island's enforcement travels with the user. Content filtering, data protection, and activity monitoring apply consistently regardless of whether an employee is on the store network, working remotely, or accessing systems from a personal device.
How does Island handle third-party and contractor access?
Island gives contractors, franchise partners, and vendors controlled access to exactly the applications they need, with full policy enforcement, no agents, and no managed device requirement. Access can be provisioned quickly and revoked instantly when an engagement ends.
