WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Findings your business and technical teams can use.
The written scope confirms the systems, evidence and review depth. Your audit delivers four practical outputs.
Documented findings
Observed weaknesses, supporting evidence, affected settings or systems, and the limits of the checks performed.
Prioritised remediation plan
Recommended fixes in risk order, with practical steps for store administrators, developers and the owners of connected systems.
Findings review
A walkthrough of the results and questions from your team. Remediation implementation and retesting are included only where agreed in the proposal.
SHOPIFY & SHOPIFY PLUS / AGREED SCOPE
The store, its access and the systems it depends on.
Select the relevant areas below. The $5,000 starting price does not promise every app, system or review method across your business.
Staff and collaborator access
Users, roles, privileged access, authentication, account recovery and leaver access across the agreed store or Plus organisation.
Apps and their permissions
Installed apps, permission scopes, account ownership and data access. Review whether each integration’s access matches its purpose.
Custom components and integrations
Merchant-controlled apps, themes, extensions, API credentials and webhooks. Agree the configuration, architecture or code-review depth before work starts.
Connected business systems
The cloud services, Google Workspace, advertising and Meta accounts included in the scope. Trace how a compromised account could affect the store.
Customer data and payment flows
Where customer information is shared, exported or retained; payment-flow responsibilities and agreed readiness gaps.
Monitoring and recovery
Available activity records, alerts, incident ownership and evidence of recovery arrangements for the systems you control.
Assessment boundary: we review merchant-controlled systems and access you can authorise. Shopify’s underlying infrastructure is excluded. This audit is not an automatically included exploitation-based penetration test.
SCOPE & PRICING
A written scope. A fixed audit price.
One independent assessment for your agreed Shopify or Shopify Plus environment.

PCI DSS readiness within your agreed scope.
We can review merchant responsibilities, payment data flows, relevant customisations and readiness gaps where included in the engagement.
Shopify’s role does not remove the need to understand the controls and third parties your business is responsible for. The report distinguishes your responsibilities from those of the platform and payment providers.
This assessment does not provide PCI certification or formal validation. Confirm validation requirements with your acquirer or payment brand and arrange any required formal services separately.
BEFORE YOU START
Shopify audit questions.
Do you assess Shopify and Shopify Plus?
Yes. We assess the merchant-controlled settings, staff and collaborator access, app permissions, custom components and connected systems agreed in your scope. Shopify Plus organisations can include their store structure, roles and relevant B2B or checkout configurations where applicable.
Do you test Shopify’s own infrastructure?
No. Shopify’s underlying infrastructure is outside this merchant audit. We review systems you control and access you can authorise. Any active testing of custom components needs an agreed scope and appropriate authorisation.
What does the $5,000 starting price include?
A scoped, independent Shopify security audit with an executive summary, documented findings, prioritised remediation and a findings review. We agree the store, connected systems, evidence and depth of review before quoting a fixed price. Additional stores, apps, complex integrations or reporting requirements can increase the scope and price.
What access and evidence will you need?
An inventory of the store and connected systems, staff and collaborator roles, installed apps and permissions, relevant configuration and activity records, and access to the people responsible. We agree the least-privilege access or supervised evidence collection needed. Do not submit passwords, tokens or customer data through this enquiry form.
Does this provide PCI DSS certification?
No. Where agreed, we review payment data flows, merchant responsibilities and readiness gaps. The audit does not provide certification or formal validation. Validation requirements remain a separate matter for your acquirer or payment brand and appropriately qualified providers.
How long does the assessment take?
We agree the delivery date after confirming store complexity, connected systems, access and evidence availability. The proposal records the dependencies, deliverables and findings-review arrangements.
Do I need to write a detailed brief or book a call?
No. Your name, company and work email are enough to start. Your Shopify store URL and detailed requirements are optional. We can clarify the scope by email; a scheduled online meeting is available if you prefer.
