Keep your Magento store patched, hardened and protected
Security patching, vulnerability assessment and store hardening for open-source Magento 2. We track every Adobe security release, test patches in staging and apply them to live stores before the vulnerability window opens.
An unpatched Magento store is not a question of if. It is a question of when.
Open-source Magento requires active security management. Adobe releases patches on a regular cycle and out-of-cycle for critical vulnerabilities. Once a patch is public, the vulnerability it addresses is public too. Automated scanners identify unpatched stores within hours. The window between patch release and active exploitation is shorter than most teams realise.
We manage the full patch lifecycle: tracking releases, testing in staging, verifying compatibility with your extension stack and applying to live during a low-traffic window. For stores that have fallen behind, we also carry out security audits and remediation to bring them back to a protected state.
Every Adobe patch tracked, tested and applied before the window closes.
Adobe's Magento 2 security patches are monitored as part of our release tracking process. Each patch is reviewed for scope, tested against your extension stack in a staging environment and applied to your live store during a scheduled low-traffic window with rollback procedures in place. Patch history documented and available on request. Stores on our retainer receive patch management as standard. Stores not on retainer can commission individual patch deployments.
Find and fix vulnerabilities before someone else does.
A full Magento 2 security audit covers: known vulnerabilities in your installed extensions and Magento version, admin access controls and two-factor authentication configuration, file system permissions and exposed paths, third-party integrations and API key management, server configuration, TLS setup and HTTP security headers, and indicators of past compromise. All findings documented with severity ratings and remediation steps. We carry out the fixes or provide a clear brief for your team. PCI DSS compliance assessment available as part of the audit.
Stores we keep secure on Magento 2
Security is not a one-time task. It needs continuous attention.
The threat landscape changes constantly. New vulnerabilities are discovered in Magento core and in popular extensions on a regular basis. We monitor security advisories, track CVEs relevant to your stack and notify you when action is required. Monthly security reviews for retainer clients cover patch status, extension currency and access control hygiene. For stores handling card payments, we provide documentation and configuration support to assist with PCI DSS compliance requirements.
Common questions about Magento 2 security
Adobe releases Magento 2 security patches regularly, typically on a quarterly schedule with out-of-cycle patches for critical vulnerabilities. Each patch addresses specific CVEs and should be applied promptly. Stores running unpatched versions are at significantly elevated risk of compromise.
Unpatched vulnerabilities become publicly known once Adobe releases a patch. Automated scanning tools used by malicious actors actively probe for stores running older versions. The risk of compromise increases substantially the longer a known vulnerability remains unaddressed.
Yes. We audit the codebase first to understand the customisation level and extension stack, then apply patches in a staging environment before deploying to live. We handle stores built by other agencies regularly.
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) sets requirements for any system that handles card payment data. For Magento stores, this includes keeping software patched, restricting admin access, encrypting data in transit, and maintaining audit logs. We help stores meet these requirements through security hardening and patch management.
A security audit reviews your store for known vulnerabilities, outdated extensions, weak admin configurations, exposed files, insecure third-party integrations and indicators of past compromise. We provide a written report with prioritised findings and handle remediation on request.
Take the store offline or put it into maintenance mode immediately to stop further data exposure. Contact your hosting provider to preserve server logs, as these are critical for forensic investigation. Do not delete anything. Then contact us. We carry out forensic triage to identify how the store was compromised, remove all malicious code, close the entry point and harden the store against reinfection.
Yes. Retainer clients benefit from proactive patch tracking, monthly security reviews and priority response if a vulnerability is identified affecting their version. We also monitor for anomalous behaviour that may indicate an active threat.
