Web security and compliance: keeping websites and shops safe, and provably so

A website is a public door to the company. What web security and compliance services include — application hardening, vulnerability management, GDPR and PCI requirements, cookie and consent compliance, accessibility — and how to know you are covered.

Websites and online shops are attacked constantly and automatically: outdated plugins, exposed admin panels, weak passwords, injection flaws, misconfigured headers. At the same time they carry legal obligations — GDPR for personal data, PCI for card payments, cookie and consent rules, accessibility requirements for public bodies and increasingly for companies. Web security and compliance is the service that handles both: the site is hardened and monitored, and the paperwork proves it.

What the service includes

  • Application security — secure configuration of the platform (Magento, WordPress, Next.js, custom), security headers and CSP, authentication and session hardening, rate limiting, protection against the OWASP Top 10.
  • Vulnerability management — dependency and plugin monitoring, scheduled scanning, prompt patching, penetration tests at milestones.
  • Edge protection — WAF, bot protection, DDoS mitigation, TLS configuration.
  • Privacy compliance — GDPR data mapping, privacy and cookie policies that describe what the site really does, consent management, data subject request handling.
  • Payment compliance — PCI DSS scope minimisation and SAQ support for shops.
  • Accessibility — WCAG conformance review and fixes.
  • Evidence — reports, logs and documentation for auditors, partners and tenders.

What to prepare

  • The sites and shops in scope, their platforms and hosting.
  • What personal and payment data they handle.
  • Existing policies and consent tooling.
  • Obligations from clients, tenders or regulators.
