Why this combo
The decisions we made differently — and why they matter for e-commerce specifically.
Tokenize at the edge via Stripe / Adyen / Shop Pay so card data never touches your servers. We architect for SAQ A or SAQ A-EP, not SAQ D — the difference is a 10x audit cost and a saner engineering team.
Credential stuffing, SIM-swap-aided password reset, MFA bypass, gift-card cash-out flows. We audit the auth + checkout surface end-to-end and ship the rate-limits, device-binding, and step-up MFA the playbook calls for.
Hydrogen / Next.js Commerce / custom React storefronts have a different attack surface than monolith Shopify themes. Cross-storefront token leaks, BFF auth bypass, GraphQL introspection abuse, image-resize-as-SSRF — we know where to look.
Cloudflare Turnstile / hCaptcha / Arkose tuning, rate-limit topology, distributed-request fingerprinting. We wire it without hammering your real customers — and we measure conversion impact before/after.
Hot-paths under load behave differently than cold ones. We pressure-test checkout under realistic concurrency and surface race conditions that scanners and casual pentests miss.
Executive summary + technical detail + remediation status + retest sign-off. Format negotiable to match your QSA's preferred template or your cyber-insurance attestation requirements.

Why Hayaiti
Ecommerce security is a budget conversation: every dollar saved on chargebacks and ATO refunds is a dollar of margin. Every PCI scope creep is a multiple of your audit cost. And every Black-Friday outage from a failed bot defense is a quarter you'll explain on the next investor call. The audit playbook targets DTC brands on Shopify Plus, headless Hydrogen storefronts, and account-takeover defenses sized to survive a real credential-stuffing wave. We are NOT a QSA (we don't issue PCI attestations) and we are NOT your cyber insurance carrier — we do the technical engineering layer they both want to see.

Shape of work
A small fintech needed a penetration test ahead of their SOC 2 Type II audit. The win wasn't the report — it was the remediation playbook that gave the engineering team a clear week-by-week path to a clean audit.
Spec engagement built to set the bar — same playbook a real client gets. Real cases publish after launch with the client’s sign-off.
FAQ
It satisfies the technical-pentest portion that PCI DSS Requirement 11.4 requires. The full PCI attestation (RoC or SAQ) is signed off by a licensed QSA — we're not one. We do the underlying pentest the QSA needs to see, and we refer to QSAs in our network for the formal certification.
Yes. The Shopify-hosted checkout is their problem. Your custom theme code, custom apps, headless extensions, customer login flows, gift-card logic, store credit, returns flows, and admin user management — all yours, all worth testing. Most ATO incidents we see are in custom code on top of Shopify, not Shopify itself.
Yes — most engagements pay for themselves here. We map your current data flow, identify where card data is touching your infra, and architect for tokenization (Stripe Elements, Shop Pay, Adyen Payment Methods). Common outcome: SAQ D candidates land in SAQ A-EP after a few weeks of focused work.
It can if tuned wrong. We instrument before/after conversion impact and tune challenge difficulty per traffic source. Mobile users on flaky 4G see different challenges than desktop users on residential ISPs. Done right, ATO drops measurably and conversion is unchanged.
Yes. Admin compromise is often more damaging than customer compromise — admins can change prices, fulfillment routing, refund policies. We test admin auth, role escalation, and the API surface your warehouse / 3PL integrations use. WMS pentest is in scope.
We are not currently SOC 2 attested. For a vendor risk review that requires a SOC 2 report, we are not a fit yet. If your procurement requires that specifically, we'll tell you upfront before the engagement.
Fastest path: pay deposit, sign mutual NDA, kick off within days. We typically have 2 pentest slots open per month. Lock yours in writing — we don't double-book Black Friday season.
Start with an audit, or jump straight to pricing. Either way, you talk to engineers — not a sales funnel.
