Almost every time, the public will connect/attribute the brand to the breach problem, not the franchisee or contractor. Occasionally, the brand can brush off the connection if the problem has particulars regarding specific employees or activities at a specific facility or area. But when a problem is pervasive across multiple stores or facilities, the brand CANNOT avoid the attribution no matter how many statements they may make.
To me, this is a classic example of poor executive decision making where the management mindset is to divert blame away from the crystal corporate palace.
For me, I would have more confidence and respect for any organization that is willing to stand up to the problem at hand, accept blame even if it really isn't their fault, and attest to (and follow through with) broad measures focused on full and proper remediation.
