What does E-commerce & Marketplaces need from cyber security?
Key takeaways
- The engagement is scoped around transactions and customer data, not a generic checklist.
- A written scope, a fixed price band and a delivery date before work starts.
- A technical report for your engineers and a one-page summary for decision makers.
- A retest after remediation is included as standard on assessment work.

What actually matters for e-commerce & marketplaces?
Most security advice is written for one kind of organisation and applied to all of them. That is why so much of it is irrelevant to you. Here is what we treat as the real exposure in your situation, and how each item is handled.
- Payment flow and checkout security
- Card data handling and PCI scope
- Account takeover and bot abuse
- Order and inventory fraud detection
- Customer data exposure in a breach
Which services fit this situation?
Scope follows exposure, and exposure is not uniform across this category. This is the typical shape of an engagement for the work you are looking at.
| Service | When it is the right answer | Indicative range (ex-GST) |
|---|---|---|
| VAPT and penetration testing | You want to know what an attacker would actually find | Rs 45,000 - 6,00,000 |
| Cyber security audit and gap assessment | You need the map before you commission the test | Rs 60,000 - 2,50,000 |
| Managed security operations | You need someone watching between engagements | Rs 2,50,000 - 12,00,000 per year |
| Incident response retainer | You need a 4-hour response when something happens | Rs 2,50,000 - 6,00,000 per year |
| DPDP and CERT-In readiness | Regulatory deadlines are the driver | Rs 1,00,000 - 5,00,000 |
| Awareness training and phishing simulation | Your people are the most likely route in | Rs 25,000 - 1,50,000 |
How do you approach it?
A short scoping conversation comes first. We want to know what you are protecting, whether anything has happened already, and what a serious failure would actually cost you. From that we build a scope that fits your budget, which is regularly smaller than what was originally asked for. The engagement that gets completed is worth more than the larger one that gets abandoned halfway through.
The work is delivered under a signed rules-of-engagement document, and the finding log is shared as it is written. Your engineers can start on the serious items before the final report arrives, rather than waiting for it.
Which services fit this situation?
VAPT & Penetration Testing
Authorised vulnerability assessment and penetration testing for web, mobile, API and network.
Web Application Security
Web app testing that reads like a breach report, not a scanner dump.
Mobile App Security Testing
iOS and Android testing of the app binary, the API behind it, and the data it stores.
API Security Testing
Where most modern breaches actually happen, and where most scanners never look.
Network Penetration Testing
Internal network, external perimeter, firewall and segmentation testing.
Cloud Security Assessment
AWS, Azure and GCP configuration review, plus container and Kubernetes testing.
Incident Response & Retainer
24/7 help when something is already happening — and a retainer to stop it happening.
Ransomware Recovery & File Unlock
When files are encrypted, the priority is containment first and recovery second.

Half an hour on a call normally settles the scope. If the sensible engagement is a smaller one than you had in mind, that is what you will hear, and it saves you the cost of finding out later.
