E-commerce Startup – Web Application Hardening

Project Overview

A fast-growing e-commerce startup approached us to secure its online storefront, which had recently been targeted by multiple bot attacks and attempted SQL injections. The objective was to protect customer data, ensure payment security, and build customer trust by hardening their web application.

Challenges

  1. Exposed login and payment APIs vulnerable to brute-force and injection attacks.
  2. Lack of input validation on customer-facing forms.
  3. No bot mitigation or rate-limiting controls in place.
  4. Minimal logging and incident detection capabilities.
  5. No security headers or HTTPS enforcement.

Solutions

  1. Conducted full application VAPT based on OWASP Top 10 standards.
  2. Implemented WAF with custom rules to block malicious traffic.
  3. Hardened server configuration and enforced HTTPS with HSTS.
  4. Deployed CAPTCHA and rate-limiting for login & form endpoints.
  5. Integrated application logs with a lightweight SIEM solution.
