E-Commerce Penetration Testing

For the many Cyprus businesses selling online — retail, tourism, forex-adjacent and iGaming platforms — the storefront is where revenue and regulated customer data meet. Attackers exploit logic, not just code: a manipulated price, a stacked coupon, a skipped payment step. Our e-commerce penetration testing targets those payment and checkout flaws alongside the OWASP Top 10, protecting both your revenue and your GDPR obligations.

We go beyond scanning to abuse the flows that matter commercially: manipulating prices and quantities, stacking discounts, racing payment steps, and hunting IDOR across orders and invoices — the flaws that quietly drain revenue and expose customer data, and that automated tools never understand.

E-Commerce Penetration Testing in Cyprus — CyprusPentest test coverage and attack surface
E-Commerce Penetration Testing: manual, exploit-led coverage for Limassol & island-wide Cyprus businesses.

Why it matters

A single checkout-logic flaw can be exploited at scale before it shows up in your revenue, and any cardholder-data or PII exposure becomes an immediate PCI DSS and GDPR incident. In the Cyprus market, where trust and reputation travel fast, e-commerce security is squarely a business-continuity issue.

What we test

  • Payment and checkout flow abuse
  • Price and quantity manipulation
  • Coupon, discount and loyalty-point abuse
  • Cart and order business-logic flaws
  • Account takeover and PII exposure
  • Third-party and payment-gateway integrations

Common vulnerabilities we uncover

  • Price/parameter tampering at checkout
  • Coupon and voucher stacking abuse
  • IDOR on orders, invoices and accounts
  • Payment bypass and race conditions
  • Stored XSS in product/review fields
  • PII and cardholder-data exposure

How we run your engagement

  1. Kick-off & scoping. A short call to agree goals, in-scope assets and rules of engagement, so your e-commerce penetration testing is safe, authorised and aimed at your real business risk.
  2. Mapping & discovery. Before touching anything we map the full attack surface in scope, so nothing exploitable slips through.
  3. Hands-on testing. Cyprus-based specialists exploit and chain weaknesses manually — the flaws scanners walk straight past — to show genuine impact.
  4. Reporting. Each issue is verified, CVSS-rated and documented with a step-by-step reproduction and a practical fix your team can apply.
  5. Free retest. Once you have remediated, we re-test at no extra cost to confirm the attack path is truly closed.

Tools & techniques

We map the full purchase journey — registration, catalogue, cart, checkout, payment callback and post-order account area — and attack each stage manually with Burp Suite Professional. Payment integrations are tested for tampering, replay and race conditions against the gateway's expected flow.

Because much of the risk is logic rather than a single payload, we model how a real fraudster would combine small abuses — a tampered price plus a stacked coupon plus a replayed callback — into a repeatable scheme, and give you the evidence to shut it down.

What you gain

By the end of your e-commerce penetration testing, you will know exactly which weaknesses a real attacker could exploit, what it would cost your business, and the precise order in which to fix them — backed by evidence, not a scanner’s guesswork. Cyprus firms use our findings to close critical gaps, satisfy client and regulator security questionnaires, and demonstrate due diligence for GDPR and NIS2. With a free retest included, you also get documented proof the issues are resolved.

Working with us

Every e-commerce penetration testing begins with a short, no-obligation scoping call to understand your goals, environment and constraints, followed by a fixed-price proposal. Most work is delivered remotely, and because we are based in Cyprus we work in your timezone with on-site visits across Limassol, Nicosia and island-wide where it helps. We keep you updated throughout and flag any critical finding immediately rather than waiting for the report. Everything is covered by a signed NDA and safe, non-disruptive testing that protects your production systems. You receive your report, a walkthrough and a complimentary retest once fixes land. Engagements are typically booked one to three weeks ahead, and urgent testing can often be arranged — just email hi@cypruspentest.com.
