Take care of the security of your e-store

Security in e-commerce is becoming increasingly important, especially in the face of the growing scale of threats. Lack of care in this area has serious consequences, from the loss of customer trust to the interruption of operations, with serious financial consequences today and in the future.

Below are 3 key areas worth implementing to protect your online store from threats.

1. Cloudflare – Your First Line of Defence

Cloudflare is a leader in security and optimization solutions for online stores.

It works in the background, effectively and reliably. It increases the security, speed, and reliability of websites and online services.

What do you get with Cloudflare?

• DDoS protection – your website works without interruption even when you try to block it.
• Super-fast loading – thanks to the global CDN network, your customers will see the website instantly, from anywhere in the world.
• Full protection against bots and hacks – integrated SSL certificates and security mechanisms work automatically.
• Lower maintenance costs – lower data consumption and relieving the server load.
• Ready for growth – ideal for small stores and large platforms.
• Real-time data – you know what’s happening on the website and can react quickly.

We recommend this solution because it perfectly combines security and efficiency, two key areas in e-commerce.

2. Two-factor authentication (2FA) – simple but effective

A slogan alone is not enough today.

Introducing 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication), the easiest and fastest way to secure access to your store’s most important systems – the administration panel, hosting account, payment gateways, and marketing tools.

How does it work?

To log in, you need two elements:

• Something you know – password, PIN;
• Something you have – a one-time code app (like Google Authenticator). The code changes every 30-60 seconds, making gaining access significantly challenging even if the password is leaked.

Why implement 2FA?

• Protect your accounts even if you lose your password.
• Protection against phishing and unauthorized access.
• Intuitive configuration – scan the QR code in the app, and you’re done.
• Quick login – only a one-time code for subsequent logins.

It’s a small change that gives absolute protection for you and your customers’ data.

3. Security audits – peace of mind through taxonomy

A safe store is not only about technology but regular prevention.

We recommend periodic audits to help detect threats before they become real problems.

What should an audit be based on?

• Review of access to systems – at least once a year.
• Up-to-date software – plugins, themes, systems.
• Incident monitoring – event log and ready-made response scenarios.
• Independent control – external audit by specialists at least once a year.

An audit guarantees peace of mind and predictability, increasing your business’s resilience to incidents.
