Security for the front line
of consumer trust.
Retail platforms hold massive customer data and process millions of payment transactions daily. A single PCI scope creep, BOLA in a cart API, or mis-configured S3 bucket can shut a brand out of its peak sales window. We test the way attackers do — quietly, exhaustively, with brand-safe disclosure.
The Challenge
Why retail needs specialised security testing
Retail's threat model isn't enterprise IT — it's customer-facing apps, payment flows, mobile, and an ecosystem of third-party integrations, all running at peak load on the days it can least afford a fault.
Card Data and Payment Flows
PCI DSS scope expands the moment you handle, store, or transmit cardholder data — and so does the regulator interest. A single tokenisation gap or insecure third-party iframe can take an entire merchant out of compliance.
Massive Customer Data
Retail platforms hold millions of customer profiles, address books, and purchase histories. Under DPDP Act, a breach here is reportable and material. Loyalty programmes, return engines, and CRM integrations all multiply the attack surface.
Mobile-First and API-Heavy
Modern retail runs on mobile apps, GraphQL/REST APIs, and a sprawl of third-party integrations — payment gateways, last-mile delivery, marketplaces, MarTech. Each integration is a privilege boundary that ordinary scanners don't test.
Peak Events and Margin Compression
Sales-event traffic 10-20x baseline means edge-case bugs that lurked all year suddenly matter. DDoS, scraping, fraud, and inventory abuse compound. Finding and fixing these in advance is the only economic option.
Services for Retail
Security tests calibrated to retail and FMCG
Each service is scoped to the patterns retail platforms actually use — and sized so we can re-test post-fix in time for your next release.
PCI DSS Penetration Testing
Cardholder-data environment scoping + segmentation testing + application + infrastructure pen testing aligned to PCI DSS v4.0 requirements.

Deep manual testing of catalog, checkout, account, returns, loyalty, and admin flows — beyond OWASP Top 10 into real business-logic abuse.
Learn More →API Security Testing
BOLA, BFLA, mass assignment, rate-limiting, and authorisation tests across product, cart, payment, fulfilment, and integration APIs.
