QUANTIFIABLE SECURITY RESULTS
What Our Magento Security Audit Covers
Our thorough Magento security audit examines every aspect of your store’s security posture, identifying vulnerabilities that could expose your business to cyber threats.
Why Magento Security Audits Are Essential
Atwix brings years of expertise with a deep understanding of the eCommerce platform’s security needs. Our proactive audits help prevent Magento security issues before they arise, keeping your store safe while delivering a seamless user experience.
Data Breaches
Customer data, including payment information, is a prime target for hackers. A Magento security audit helps identify weak points in your database and implements measures to prevent unauthorized access, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.
Malware Infections
Malware can infiltrate your website, compromise sensitive information, and even redirect traffic to malicious sites. Regular audits detect and eliminate malware threats, keeping your Magento store and customers safe.
Outdated Security Patches
Failing to install the latest Magento security patches leaves your store vulnerable to known exploits. A Magento security audit ensures your platform is up-to-date, minimizing risks and protecting against newly identified threats.
Weak Admin Panel Security
Using default credentials or lacking multi-factor authentication (MFA) can make your admin panel an easy target. Security audits identify these vulnerabilities and recommend best practices for safeguarding your store’s backend.
Unsecure Third-Party Extensions
Extensions enhance your Magento store’s functionality but can also introduce vulnerabilities if not properly vetted. A Magento security audit reviews installed extensions for risks and ensures only secure and necessary ones are in use.
Compliance Violations
Non-compliance with standards like PCI DSS can result in hefty fines and legal challenges. A security audit ensures your Magento store meets industry requirements, protecting your business from financial and reputational damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got some questions? We’re here to answer. If you don’t see your question here, drop us a line with out Contact form.
How often should I conduct a Magento security audit?
We recommend quarterly security audits for active eCommerce stores, with additional audits after major platform updates, new integrations, or security incidents. High-volume B2B stores processing sensitive data should consider monthly monitoring with quarterly comprehensive audits.
What’s the difference between automated scanning and manual security auditing?
Automated tools can quickly identify known vulnerabilities and configuration issues, but they miss business logic flaws, custom code vulnerabilities, and complex attack vectors. Our manual auditing process combines automated scanning with expert analysis to uncover hidden security gaps that automated tools can’t detect.
How long does a complete Magento security audit take?
Our comprehensive audit process takes 10-14 business days from initiation to final report delivery. Critical vulnerabilities are reported immediately upon discovery, and emergency patches can be applied within 24-48 hours if needed.
Will the audit affect my store’s performance or uptime?
Our audit process is designed to minimize impact on store operations. Most assessments are performed on staging environments or during low-traffic periods. Any performance testing is carefully controlled and monitored to ensure no disruption to customer experience.
What happens if you discover critical vulnerabilities during the audit?
Critical vulnerabilities are reported immediately with emergency remediation recommendations. We provide step-by-step guidance for immediate threat mitigation and can implement emergency patches if authorized. Our team remains available for urgent support throughout the remediation process.
Do you provide ongoing security monitoring after the audit?
Yes, we offer comprehensive security maintenance packages including continuous monitoring, regular vulnerability scanning, automatic patch management, and incident response services. This ensures your store remains protected as new threats emerge.
How do you ensure the security audit itself doesn’t create new vulnerabilities?
All audit activities are performed using read-only access wherever possible, with any testing conducted in isolated environments. Our team follows strict ethical hacking protocols and documents all activities. We provide a detailed audit trail and ensure all testing access is revoked upon completion.
What compliance standards does your audit address?
Our audit covers PCI DSS, GDPR, SOX (where applicable), and industry-specific regulations. We assess your store’s compliance posture and provide specific recommendations to meet regulatory requirements, including documentation needed for compliance reporting.
