Running an online store means handling payments, customer data, and business transactions daily. But with opportunity comes risk — hackers, malware, and data breaches can damage your business in minutes.

With Online Store Security Hardening (One-time Hardening), your store gets a focused, expert-level setup that locks down vulnerabilities, strengthens defenses, and ensures your platform is safer against common attacks.

It’s like adding a reinforced lock, alarm system, and CCTV to your digital storefront — peace of mind that your business and customers are protected.

  • Strong SSL/TLS configuration for encrypted transactions.
  • Secure admin access setup (2FA, limited login attempts).
  • Firewall & anti-malwareconfiguration.
  • Database and file permission tightening.
  • Backup & recovery readiness check.
2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) is a security process that requires users to provide two different forms of verification before gaining access to an account or system.

SQL injection is a cyberattack where an attacker inserts malicious SQL code into a form or URL to make a database reveal, change, or delete data.
