Introduction to E-commerce Security
What is E-commerce Security?
E-commerce Security refers to a collection of procedures that make it possible to conduct business online safely while safeguarding the information of both consumers and businesses against risks like credit card fraud, phishing scams, hacking, data entry errors, and unprotected online services. Not only will an e-commerce store’s revenue decline if it cannot ensure a safe environment, but its consumers’ faith will be betrayed.
Importance of E-commerce Security Services
Confidentiality
All information communicated on the internet, extranet, and intranet is hidden, and any access by outside forces with malicious intent can result in significant losses for the organization.
Virus Protection
E-commerce systems are vulnerable to a variety of attacks, including virus attacks, which alter the system to operate in a unique way and can spread without further participation from hackers.
Integrity
The company's website serves as its public face. The users recognize the store when they see it. If the attacker modifies or deletes the website's content, users may abandon the e-commerce firm.
Availability
It takes a huge amount of effort on the part of the e-commerce organization to bring customers to their website, so the website must be available at all times. Interrupted availability or a slow-working website caused by a security breach would be detrimental to the company's performance.
Non-repudiation
Since there is no actual interaction between the parties, online transactions require a higher level of security. Online security ensures that neither party may deny engaging into the agreement while the terms stay the same.
Digital Convergence
E-commerce can be conducted using laptops, tablets, smartphones, and some smart watches. Users keep themselves logged in to practically all of their devices at all times, which increases the danger of threats and hence security.

Our Approach
HAZERCLOUD’s Ecommerce Security process follows a well-defined methodology:
Planning and Discovery
Information Gathering
Vulnerability Assessment
Penetration Testing
Reporting & Remediation
Planning and Discovery
We collaborate with you to understand your business objectives, security posture, and regulatory requirements. This phase also involves system discovery and scoping to determine the applications and infrastructure to be assessed.This information then forms the foundation for developing a tailored assessment plan that meets your specific needs.
Information Gathering
We employ various techniques to map your attack surface, including OSINT and secure interviews, to identify potential vulnerabilities beyond those revealed by automated scans. Additionally, we leverage vulnerability scanners designed for specific technologies and conduct penetration testing to simulate real-world attacks.
Vulnerability Assessment
Automated vulnerability scanning tools and manual techniques are employed to identify potential weaknesses within your systems. These vulnerabilities are then prioritized based on their severity and potential impact, allowing security teams to focus on the most critical issues first. Following remediation efforts, a retest is typically conducted to verify that the vulnerabilities have been effectively addressed.
Penetration Testing
Our ethical hackers simulate real-world attacks to exploit vulnerabilities and evaluate your defenses. Through penetration testing, we identify these weaknesses before malicious actors can, allowing us to patch them and significantly improve your overall cybersecurity posture
Reporting & Remediation
We deliver a comprehensive report outlining vulnerabilities, severity levels, and a prioritized remediation plan. Our team offers guidance to help you patch vulnerabilities and enhance your security posture. We go beyond reporting – our experts will work alongside you to implement the remediation plan, ensuring efficient patching and minimizing disruption to your operations.
