E-commerce & retail

A pentest that protects your customers, your margin, and your peak season.

Account-takeover paths, promo and cart abuse, payment-flow integrity, and customer-data protection — tested against the abuse patterns retail teams actually see.

Where we focus

Six surfaces e-commerce engagements live in.

Account takeover paths

Login throttling, MFA bypass, credential stuffing resistance, account-recovery flows, device binding.

Promo and discount logic

Coupon stacking, referral abuse, gift-card double-spend, subscription downgrade and re-upgrade paths.

Payment flow integrity

Cart tampering, price manipulation, partial-refund abuse, idempotency and retry safety on the payment path.

Customer-data exposure

Order history, addresses, partial card data, PII in logs and exports, support-agent access boundaries.

Storefront and CMS

Theme-injection, third-party script supply chain, admin endpoints exposed to the public storefront.

Mobile and partner APIs

In-app purchase flows, partner integrations, fulfillment and logistics APIs, webhook signature handling.

How we typically scope retail

A common bundle: storefront + APIs + payment-flow + PCI framing.

FAQ

E-commerce — common questions

Do you cover PCI DSS for e-commerce?

Yes. We perform external and internal testing per PCI DSS Requirement 11.4 and segmentation testing per 11.4.5 where the cardholder data environment shares infrastructure with out-of-scope systems.

How do you test promo and cart abuse safely?

We default to a staging environment with realistic catalog and pricing data. When a production test is necessary, we agree explicit safe-testing rules, throttle activity, and stay reachable on a shared channel for the duration of the test.

Can you test our mobile checkout flow?

Yes. Mobile clients and the APIs they call are part of standard scope. We test in-app purchase flows, partner integrations, and the payment path end-to-end.

How do you test account-takeover resistance?

We test login throttling, MFA bypass paths, account-recovery safety, device binding, and the support-agent overrides that often become the weakest link. Findings include the specific abuse paths a real ATO attempt would take.

Will the report support our payment processor or partner reviews?

Yes. Reports include the explicit scope statement and PCI DSS mappings that processors and platform partners typically request as part of vendor reviews.
