Compliance

Compliance with PCI DSS v4.0.1, requirements 3.6.4 and 11.6.1 needed for most digital vendors. All steps are done automatically, complete to the weekly report needed when audit time comes.

c/side add no latency, due to optimization and caching of scripts where possible. Async loaded scripts don't require optimization.

Security

Protection from browser rendered 3rd party JavaScript attacks (like Magecart on Adobe Magento). Securing the input of credit card and private information. c/side is the only solution with a proxy service - seeing the exact payload of all scripts to promise the best possible protection.

Unlike other methods, c/side actively analyzes and protects against evolving threats in real-time. Our proxy-based architecture inspects the exact payload delivered to end users, ensuring no blind spots. All traffic is monitored and stored, making analysis after the fact a breeze.

Understanding the Client-Side Security Challenges

The retail e-commerce industry faces a growing wave of sophisticated cyber threats targeting online stores, payment portals, and customer data. With consumer expectations for secure and seamless transactions rising, addressing vulnerabilities is essential to maintain trust and performance.

  • Magecart and Digital SkimmingMalicious scripts that inject into payment pages, skimming sensitive payment details like credit card numbers.
  • Compliance ComplexityMeeting stringent requirements like PCI DSS 4.0.1 (e.g., Requirement 6.4.3) while ensuring a frictionless customer experience.
  • Third-Party Script VulnerabilitiesReliance on external scripts for analytics and functionality opens sites to unauthorized changes and risks.
  • Operational InefficienciesManual script reviews and traditional monitoring drain resources and delay responses to vulnerabilities.
