Why it matters

Ecommerce security goes beyond the storefront

Modern ecommerce platforms connect storefronts, mobile apps, payment gateways, customer accounts, APIs, cloud services, and third-party integrations. Penetration testing identifies vulnerabilities across that attack surface, including business logic flaws that automated scanning cannot reliably model.

The challenge

Where ecommerce risk hides

Wallet

Checkout logic attracts abuse

Test carts, coupons, pricing, refunds, gift cards, and payment flows for manipulation and fraud paths.

Seal Check

PCI scope needs careful testing

Support applicable PCI DSS Requirement 11.4 testing across internal, external, and segmentation controls.

Shield Warning

Customer accounts hold sensitive data

Assess authentication, sessions, recovery, and authorization for account takeover and data exposure.

Link

Third parties expand the attack surface

Review payment gateways, plugins, loyalty programs, marketplaces, and APIs for inherited weaknesses.

The solution

Ecommerce penetration testing built around real purchase flows

Manual testing across storefronts, mobile apps, APIs, checkout, payments, and customer accounts, with PCI DSS mapping where it applies.

Package

Storefront, checkout, APIs, and payments

Test web and mobile storefronts, customer accounts, payment gateways, APIs, and business logic across the full purchase journey.

File

PCI DSS evidence, where applicable

Document findings relevant to secure software under Requirement 6 and penetration testing under Requirement 11.4, with scope and evidence clearly separated.

Key

Accounts, access, and sensitive data

Assess authentication, sessions, account recovery, authorization, and data handling for account takeover and exposure risks.

Frequently asked questions

PCI DSS Requirement 11.4 covers penetration testing for in-scope environments. Requirement 6 separately covers secure systems and software: 6.4.2 requires continuous automated protection for public-facing web applications, while 6.4.3 covers payment-page script authorization, integrity, and inventory. A pentest supports these controls but does not replace them.
Scope commonly includes storefronts, mobile apps, checkout, customer accounts, payment gateways, APIs, cloud services, and third-party integrations. Testing examines technical vulnerabilities and business logic flaws such as price manipulation, coupon abuse, payment bypass, authorization gaps, and sensitive data exposure.
Frequency depends on risk, release cadence, and compliance scope. For in-scope PCI DSS environments, penetration tests are generally required at least annually and after significant changes. Fast-moving retailers often test major checkout, payment, API, or infrastructure changes sooner.
Cost depends on the number of applications, roles, payment flows, APIs, integrations, environments, and compliance requirements in scope. A focused storefront test costs less than a multi-application retail program. Blaze defines scope first and provides a fixed quote.
Testing is planned to protect availability. Blaze agrees on timing and rules of engagement, avoids destructive actions against production checkout, and can use a representative staging environment when appropriate. The scope should balance realistic coverage with customer experience and sales continuity.
Critical findings are escalated during testing so remediation can begin quickly. The report includes reproducible evidence, business impact, and practical fix guidance. Validation is available according to the selected engagement or annual program.
