Cybersecurity for E-commerce
E-commerce platforms combine everything attackers look for in one place: payment data, customer accounts, and public-facing infrastructure that can't afford downtime — especially during the seasonal traffic surges that also happen to be prime attack windows.
Why E-commerce Is Different
Unlike most industries, e-commerce security failures are immediately visible to customers — a compromised checkout, a credential-stuffing wave, or a defaced storefront damages trust in real time, not just in a post-incident report. Attack volume also spikes predictably around sales events, exactly when platforms can least afford an incident.
What We Cover
- PCI DSS compliance for any platform handling cardholder data, mapped to our PCI DSS Checklist.
- Web App Security covering checkout flows, customer accounts, and the APIs powering your storefront.
- Attack Surface Management to catch exposed admin panels, staging environments, and forgotten subdomains before attackers find them first.
- Continuous VAPT through Alastor Pulse, scaled to catch new vulnerabilities introduced by frequent feature releases.
- Dark Web Monitoring for leaked customer credentials and card data that surface on criminal marketplaces before your customers report fraud.
Common Requirements We See
- PCI DSS certification renewal ahead of a payment processor's annual review
- Pre-peak-season security assessments before major sales events
- Credential-stuffing and account takeover prevention testing
- Third-party plugin and integration risk assessment for platforms built on extensible e-commerce frameworks
Where to Start
Most e-commerce platforms start with a PCI DSS Checklist self-assessment and an Attack Surface Management scan to establish a baseline before continuous VAPT coverage kicks in.
