PrestaShop Security Audit & Hardening Report

PrestaShop Security Audit & Hardening Report

The PrestaShop Security Audit & Hardening Report is a comprehensive manual review of your PrestaShop store, server, and logs. The report ranks risks based on real-world threats and provides a prioritized hardening plan.

What the report looks like

• Findings are ranked before being described, so the most critical issues are addressed first.
• Each issue is detailed, backed by evidence, and prioritized based on severity, likelihood, and remediation effort.
• The report includes a severity score, likelihood, and remediation effort for each issue.
• Concrete examples of issues are provided, such as a payment-page template loading an unfamiliar external script, a back office accessible without restrictions, or a module outdated with a security fix.
• Critical issues are flagged for immediate action, and a roadmap for implementation is provided.
• A backup-and-recovery assessment is included, outlining the feasibility of restoring a clean store after an incident.
• A walkthrough call or email thread is offered to guide your team through the priorities.

Who it is for

• Merchants handling customer or payment data who want to assess their real exposure.
• Merchants before a busy season, PCI or insurer questions, or after inheriting a store.
• Merchants who have experienced an incident and need to ensure all doors are closed.
• Auditors or agencies needing an independent second opinion on a client store.

What the report actually names

• Concrete issues, not categories, such as a payment-page template loading an unfamiliar external script, a back office accessible without restrictions, or a module outdated with a security fix.
• Each issue is mapped to the exact fix and ordered by severity, likelihood, and effort.
• Critical issues are flagged for same-day action, and a hardening roadmap is provided.
• A backup-and-recovery assessment is included, outlining the feasibility of restoring a clean store after an incident.

What you get

• A severity-scored risk report tailored to your store, version, host, and module stack.
• Each finding mapped to a concrete remediation and placed in order by severity, likelihood, and effort.
• Critical issues called out for same-day action, and a hardening roadmap your team or developer can work through directly.
• A backup-and-recovery assessment: whether you could genuinely restore a clean store after an incident.
• A walkthrough call or email thread to take your team through the priorities.

How the report is different from incident response

• This is an assessment and a plan, not active cleanup.
• If we find evidence of an active compromise, we flag it immediately and outline the urgent containment steps.
• Hands-on cleanup and malware removal are scoped and quoted separately as priority work.
• Implementing the hardening is likewise a separate engagement.
• Many of the fixes you can apply yourself with the report in hand.
• We do not run intrusive penetration tests or load attacks against your live store.
• We change nothing on your live store during the review.

PrestaShop versions covered

• The report covers PrestaShop 1.6, 1.7, 8, and 9, including multistore, on any host and any theme.
• Findings account for your exact version, modules, and configuration.
• The version-specific failure modes are part of the review.

How every finding is written

• Symptom, the evidence it was drawn from, why it happens on PrestaShop, the fix, the effort, and how to confirm it worked.
• Written so a developer can act without asking a follow-up question.
