Managed Security Service Provider for Hospitality

Hospitality networks that keep guests connected, staff productive, and every property protected.

From single-property inns and independent resorts to multi-location hotel groups and QSR operators across the USA and Canada, hospitality businesses trust MCK to manage their networks, security, and physical access infrastructure. One provider. No gaps between properties.

Security and network challenges

Guest Wi-Fi, payment systems, and property access run on your network. Most hospitality businesses cannot see what is happening across all three. Is your provider keeping up?

Hotels and resorts run on connectivity. When networks go down, guests notice immediately. When payment systems are misconfigured, compliance audits follow. When physical access has no central oversight, staff and guests are at risk. These are the problems putting hospitality businesses across the USA and Canada at risk right now.

Network compliance

Guest Wi-Fi and payment terminals on the same network is a PCI DSS failure

Most hotels connect guest devices, POS systems, property management platforms, and back-office systems through the same flat network. That puts the entire infrastructure in PCI DSS audit scope. Every guest device becomes a potential path to payment data, and every new property added to the group compounds the exposure.

Multi-property visibility

Hotel groups with no central view across properties

Hospitality businesses running multiple properties often built each location's network independently, through a local ISP or whoever was cheapest at the time. There is no consistent configuration, no central monitoring, and no single team accountable when something fails. A problem at a remote property is invisible until the front desk calls head office.

Connectivity failover

One failed circuit means check-ins stop, POS goes offline, and guests feel it

A hotel running on a single ISP circuit with no automatic failover has no recovery path when the line goes down. Check-in systems, room key management, restaurant POS, and guest Wi-Fi all go with it. Unmanaged endpoints and guest devices compound the risk. When connectivity drops, there is no visibility into what was affected or for how long. Your telco's response time does not match the pace of a hospitality operation where guests are standing at the front desk.

identify payment and POS system connectivity as their top security and operational risk. (VikingCloud 2025 State of Hospitality Cyber Report)

Physical security gaps

Staff corridors, car parks, and service areas with no central monitoring

Most hotels manage physical access and camera systems as separate, site-specific installations. Access credentials are rarely reviewed. Cameras operate on local storage with no remote visibility. When an incident happens, gathering footage or understanding who accessed a restricted area takes hours and often reveals gaps that should have been caught sooner.

Provider support

Your telco treats a 40-room inn the same as a 400-person office block

Large telcos and general IT providers do not design their support model around hospitality operations. A network fault at 11pm on a Saturday during full occupancy is not an emergency to them. Ticket queues, offshore escalations, and engineers who have never been inside a hotel create support failures at the moments when hospitality businesses can least afford them.

The MCK approach

A fully managed service for hospitality businesses that run on guest experience and cannot afford gaps.

MCK manages the network infrastructure, security operations, and physical access systems that hospitality businesses depend on. Guest Wi-Fi, POS connectivity, property management systems, access control, and threat monitoring are all handled under one service agreement. Your team focuses on guests. We handle the infrastructure underneath.

Physical intelligence

Security that covers your physical spaces, not just your network.

Hotels and resorts manage more than digital threats. Staff corridors, guest floors, car parks, and service areas all carry physical security risks that sit outside a standard IT managed service. MCK manages access control and video surveillance alongside your network and security services, one provider, one view across your entire property.

Managed Access Control

Control who enters staff areas, back-of-house zones, and restricted floors across your property. MCK manages access credentials, door hardware, and audit logs without your operations team carrying the overhead. Credential reviews, access reports, and hardware monitoring are all included.

Video Surveillance

Cloud-based monitoring across lobbies, common areas, car parks, and service corridors. Footage is accessible remotely and managed by MCK so your property team is not maintaining hardware or chasing local recordings. Intelligent monitoring flags events rather than leaving your team reviewing hours of footage.

Not sure if your current provider covers everything your hotel group or property needs?

MCK's security review looks at your network coverage, security monitoring, compliance posture, and physical access setup across your properties. One site or a portfolio of locations, it is a straight assessment of where you stand. No commitment.

The technology behind MCK

Built on two platforms that handle the complexity your team should not have to.

Fortinet Security Fabric

MCK deploys and manages the Fortinet Security Fabric across your hospitality environment. The same firewall, SD-WAN, and endpoint protection platform used by major hotel groups and multi-site operators, fully managed so your property and operations teams do not need to touch it.

Single and multi-property hospitality coverage without the complexity

Managing network, security, and physical access across one property or a portfolio of hotel sites is where most providers fall short. MCK is built for this: one managed service, one support team, consistent monitoring and compliance posture across every property you operate, whether that is a single inn or a group of twenty locations.

Single point of contact for all properties. No per-site vendor juggling.

Frequently asked questions

Questions from hospitality businesses evaluating MCK.

Answers to what comes up most often when independent operators, hotel groups, and multi-property hospitality businesses are working through their decision.

How can hospitality businesses gain centralised visibility across networks at multiple properties?
Plus icon.

Most hospitality businesses have no single view of what is happening across their properties. Network performance, connectivity status, security alerts, and access events at each site exist in isolation, if they are monitored at all. A problem at one property is invisible until a manager or guest reports it. MCK provides centralised hotel network monitoring across all your properties from a single operations centre. Network health, threat detection, access control events, and camera system status across every site are visible in one place, reported on consistently, and responded to by one team. Whether you have two properties or twenty, you see everything. You do not rely on staff at each site to tell you something is wrong.

How can hospitality businesses replace multiple providers across properties with a single partner?
Plus icon.

Hospitality businesses that have grown by adding properties often inherit a patchwork of connectivity providers, security tools, and access systems at each site. Consolidating under a single managed service provider for hospitality removes the complexity of managing separate contracts, separate support lines, and separate billing for each location. MCK manages network infrastructure, security monitoring, physical access, and video surveillance across all your properties under one service agreement. When a circuit fails at a property, MCK's NOC responds. Automatic failover using LTE or 5G backup connectivity keeps check-in systems, POS terminals, room key management, and guest Wi-Fi running while the primary circuit is restored. You should not find out your internet is down from a guest. One agreement, one support team, one view across every property you operate.

How do I separate guest Wi-Fi from our payment systems to meet PCI DSS requirements?
Plus icon.

The requirement is network segmentation. Your guest Wi-Fi, POS terminals, and property management systems need to sit on separate network segments with controlled traffic between them. A flat network where a guest's device and your payment terminal share the same infrastructure places your entire network in PCI DSS audit scope. MCK designs and manages segmented network architecture across your properties as part of the standard hospitality PCI compliance service. Zero-trust network access (ZTNA) controls what traffic can move between segments, so guest devices are never on the same network path as payment data or internal operations. Proper segmentation reduces your PCI audit scope, lowers your compliance cost, and removes guest devices from any path that could reach payment systems.

Can one provider manage network, security, and physical access across multiple properties?
Plus icon.

MCK does this. Under one service agreement, MCK manages the network infrastructure, security monitoring, access control, and video surveillance across all your properties. Guest Wi-Fi, POS connectivity, property management systems, staff access, and camera systems are all monitored from the same operations centre and supported by the same team. For hospitality businesses that have historically managed separate vendors per property, this removes the complexity without requiring your team to manage the consolidation process.

How does MCK handle vendor and third-party privileged access in hospitality environments?
Plus icon.

Hospitality vendor privileged access management is one of the most overlooked security gaps in the industry. Booking platforms, property management system providers, payment processors, maintenance contractors, and HVAC operators all connect to property networks at various times. Without controlled access, a single compromised vendor credential can reach payment systems, guest data, and building management infrastructure. MCK manages this through Privileged Access Management (PAM) controls built into the managed security service. Access rights are tied to specific systems and time windows. All vendor connections are logged and auditable. MCK monitors for any access patterns that fall outside expected parameters. Whether it is a PMS provider running a routine update or a facilities contractor accessing building systems, every privileged session is controlled, monitored, and documented under the hospitality access management solution, without your operations team carrying the overhead.
