Is my Shopify site secure by default?

Shopify provides a secure foundation (HTTPS, secure hosting), but third-party apps, custom configurations and integrations can create vulnerabilities. Cybernow performs a complete audit including apps, webhooks and payment integrations.

What is PCI-DSS compliance and is it mandatory?

PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a set of mandatory security standards for any business processing card payments. Non-compliance can result in fines of $5,000 to $100,000 per month and loss of your card acceptance ability.

How do I reduce card fraud on my store?

Cybernow implements multiple protection layers: AVS verification, CVV validation, behavioral analysis, IP blacklisting, geolocation, transaction limits, and integration with advanced anti-fraud tools like Signifyd or Riskified.

How long does an e-commerce security audit take?

An express audit takes 3-5 business days for a standard store. A complete audit with penetration testing can take 1-2 weeks depending on your platform complexity, number of integrations and customizations.

What happens if my e-commerce site gets hacked?

Cybernow offers a 24/7 incident response service. We isolate the breach, analyze impact, restore your systems, strengthen security and guide you through Law 25 required notifications. Prevention is always more cost-effective than remediation.
