How Capture The Bug Helps

Ecommerce Cybersecurity for Fast-Moving Stores & Scalable Retail Platforms

Capture The Bug secures your ecommerce stack-including storefronts, APIs, checkout flows, and third-party plug-ins-through continuous penetration testing, fraud detection, and compliance-ready audits tailored for high-growth digital commerce.

Application & API Security Testing

We test the entire surface of your online store-from mobile apps and custom checkout flows to headless APIs and payment gateways. Our security team identifies misconfigurations, broken authentication, session risks, and access flaws-ensuring that no exploitable gap goes undetected. Every assessment is designed to safeguard uptime, protect shopper data, and strengthen customer trust during critical transactions.

Fraud & Account Takeover Prevention

We simulate real-world fraud attempts and account abuse scenarios across your platform. From credential stuffing and cart hijacking to business logic abuse,bot and scraper mitigation and gift card manipulation, we uncover vulnerabilities before attackers do. Our skilled penetration testers are available on demand to protect customer sessions, and preserve your revenue from stealthy, high-impact exploits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Ecommerce & Retail security testing, PCI compliance, and custom plugin safety audits.

Payment skimming attacks, account takeover via credential stuffing, broken access control on admin portals, insecure third-party integrations (especially checkout and logistics plugins), and API endpoints that expose customer PII. Capture The Bug researchers test all of these systematically not just the obvious injection points. See our testing methodology: https://capturethebug.xyz/services/penetration-testing
Yes. Custom-built stores, headless commerce platforms, and storefronts built on major ecommerce frameworks are all in scope. We focus particularly on custom extensions, API integrations, and checkout flows where most vulnerabilities actually live not the core platform, which vendors patch, but the custom code layered on top.
If you handle card payments even through a gateway PCI DSS likely applies to your scope. Requirement 11.4 mandates penetration testing at least annually and after significant changes. Capture The Bug's reports are formatted for PCI auditors and include the methodology documentation, scope definitions, and remediation evidence required for assessment. For growing stores: https://capturethebug.xyz/company-size/growing-team
Nothing. Testing is conducted against your staging or development environment using synthetic data not your live customer database. Your safe harbor agreement with Capture The Bug defines exactly what's in scope and how data is handled. Researchers operate within those boundaries. Program setup: https://capturethebug.xyz/Programs
At minimum, annually and after major platform changes new payment integrations, significant feature releases, platform migrations. For stores handling high transaction volumes or enterprise B2B accounts, continuous PTaaS makes more sense than periodic snapshots. You're shipping code regularly; you should be testing regularly. See startup and growth plans: https://capturethebug.xyz/company-size/startup
Yes, within scope you define. Third-party integrations logistics APIs, payment processors, marketing tools with CRM access are often the weakest link in an ecommerce security posture. Researchers can test your integration points and API authentication without touching the third-party systems themselves. Full service scope: https://capturethebug.xyz/services/penetration-testing
You point them to your Capture The Bug report. Enterprise and wholesale buyers increasingly require evidence of penetration testing before signing supply agreements. Our reports include executive summaries suitable for non-technical procurement teams, full technical findings for their security reviewers, and remediation status tracking. Enterprise plans: https://capturethebug.xyz/company-size/enterprise
Yes. AU/NZ is our primary market, and ecommerce is one of the most active sectors on our platform. Local brands operating under Australian Consumer Law and Privacy Act obligations have used our platform to meet security requirements for both compliance and enterprise client due diligence.
