Suspect your Magento store might be vulnerable, or want to make sure it's well protected? A single missing security patch, a vulnerable module, or a misconfiguration can lead to payment data leaks, Magecart infections, Google blocklisting, and reputational damage. If after the audit you need to regularly install patches, update modules, and monitor the store's health, the Planeta Web team can take on the project for Magento 2 support and maintenance.

A Magento 2 security audit helps identify vulnerabilities in the code, modules, server infrastructure, and access settings. Based on the results, you'll receive a technical report with severity levels, priorities, and recommendations for addressing the risks found.

Here's what we'll cover:

Who needs a Magento security audit

  • Online payments

    The store accepts bank cards or works with payment services.

  • Customer personal data

    The store processes or stores customers' personal data.

  • No recent audit

    A Magento security check hasn't been performed in over a year.

  • Signs of compromise

    The site shows third-party code, unauthorized changes, or other signs of possible compromise.

What's included in the audit

  • Code review

    Analysis of the Magento core, custom modules, and third-party extensions to identify vulnerabilities. If a vulnerability is tied to a non-standard module or custom functionality, our team can implement the necessary fixes as part of custom Magento development.

  • Magento security patches

    Identifying missing security patches and open CVEs.

  • Server and WAF configuration

    We analyze the server, WAF, PHP, SSL, and web server configuration. If the current infrastructure doesn't meet Magento's requirements, we'll provide recommendations for a secure Magento hosting solution.

  • Access control

    Audit of admin panel permissions, user roles, and authentication settings.

  • Magecart check

    Scanning for JavaScript skimmers, backdoors, and other signs of compromise.

  • PCI DSS and GDPR requirements review

    We review the store's technical settings related to protecting payment and personal data, and identify potential gaps. A Planeta Web audit does not replace official PCI DSS certification or a legal GDPR compliance assessment.

How secure is your Magento store?

A security audit helps catch weak spots in your Magento store early and protect your data, payments, and business continuity.

Which Magento vulnerabilities we check for

During the audit, we check Magento 2 for known CVEs, missing security patches, risky third-party modules, JavaScript skimmers, backdoors, permission errors, unprotected admin URLs, and misconfigured server, PHP, SSL, and WAF settings. We also analyze risks related to custom code, APIs, and external integrations.

For stores running outdated or unsupported platform versions, the audit may show that a safer solution is migration to Magento 2.

How the audit works

  • Request

    We discuss your Magento store, its current state, and the goals you need to address. We then define the audit's scope and agree on next steps.

  • Analysis

    Our specialists thoroughly review Magento's code, modules, server infrastructure, and security settings to identify potential vulnerabilities.

  • Prioritized report

    We explain each issue found, its potential impact on the store's operation, and assign a severity level so you know which risks to address first.

  • Remediation plan

    We put together a step-by-step remediation plan with work priorities and recommendations for addressing the risks identified.

What is a CVE?

CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) is an international database of officially registered software vulnerabilities. Each vulnerability has a unique identifier, description, and severity level. If such a vulnerability is found during the audit, it will be included in the report along with recommendations for fixing it. You can check information on known Magento vulnerabilities in the CVE Details.

We deliver the results as a structured technical report. For each issue, we specify the severity level, potential impact on the store, the component affected, and the recommended remediation approach. We flag critical vulnerabilities separately so your team can address them first.

FAQ

How often should a Magento security audit be performed?

We recommend running an audit at least once a year, as well as after Magento updates, new module or integration installs, or any suspicious changes in the store's behavior. Regular Magento security audits help catch new risks early and keep the store's protection level high.

Does the audit affect the store's operation?

No. The check is performed without taking the site offline and doesn't affect its availability to users.

What happens if vulnerabilities are found during the audit?

You'll receive a detailed report with the severity level of each issue, an explanation of the potential risks, and recommendations for addressing them.

Do we need to provide server access?

Yes. A full audit may require access to the Magento admin panel, the server, or a staging environment.

How long does a Magento security audit take?

The duration depends on the store's size, the number of custom modules, integrations, and the server infrastructure. After an initial review of the project, we define the scope of the check and agree on an estimated timeline.

How much does a Magento security audit cost?

The cost depends on the Magento version, the number of modules and integrations, the amount of custom code, the server configuration, and the required depth of review. After a brief review of your store, we estimate the scope of work and provide a preliminary quote.
