eCommerce & Retail

PCI DSS 4.0, bot defence and checkout-fraud protection for retailers, marketplaces and D2C brands.

PCI DSS retail cyber security that protects conversion.

Retail and eCommerce run on conversion. Any control that slows checkout gets reverted by close of business. Vectra builds security into the merchandising stack. Our PCI DSS 4.0 assessments don't hold up releases. Our bot defence and client-side script monitoring catch card skimming (Magecart) without breaking analytics. Our managed detection is scoped around peak trade events. We were Australia's first PCI QSA firm, and we've assessed more Australian card environments than anyone else.

Cyber threats hitting online and omnichannel retail.

Magecart and client-side skimming

Attackers hijack a JavaScript supply chain to inject skimming code via third-party tags.

Credential stuffing and ATO

Bots using residential proxies flood logins to target loyalty wallets, gift cards and stored payment methods.

Scraper and scalper bots

Bots scrape inventory, grab pricing data and buy up stock during drops, sales and limited releases.

Payment-channel fraud

BIN attacks, card testing and refund fraud exploit low-friction checkout and BNPL integrations.

  • Card-brand notices drafted in advance under acquirer and scheme rules

  • Board reporting that tracks margin impact, conversion and brand trust

Questions commerce customers ask first.

Can you assess PCI DSS 4.0 without disrupting release cycles?

Yes. We schedule assessments around your release train and peak-trade blackouts. We also run the 4.0 requirements teams often trip over (6.4.3, 11.6.1) early, so engineering has time to fix them.

Do you handle bot-defence and client-side monitoring?

Yes. We design and run bot defence on Cloudflare, Akamai and AWS. We also monitor client-side scripts for Magecart-class JavaScript supply-chain attacks.

Can you surge during Black Friday / EOFY?

Yes. Our SOC pre-scales for nominated peak windows. You get a dedicated trade-desk channel and faster escalation SLAs.

Do you work with marketplaces and multi-merchant platforms?

Yes. We assess and monitor multi-merchant platforms where PCI scope spans many sub-merchants, and we can design compensating-controls matrices for platform-level vs tenant-level responsibility.
