Consultancy and Incident Response
-
Sansec provides incident response services for eCommerce hacks (especially those involving skimming, data theft, and payment compromise).
-
Producing guides, research articles (for example, explaining Magecart attacks) to educate merchants and developers on how to protect e-commerce systems.
Why it matters & what sets them apart
-
eCommerce stores are a common target of skimming and payment-data theft; having a specialist tool like eComscan (which is tuned to that domain) can catch threats that generic scanners may miss. Sansec emphasises that many hacks are “behind the scenes” (server side, databases, hidden admin accounts) and require deeper inspection.
-
Threat-intelligence feed and rapid detection of new vectors (and signature updates) give them an edge in this niche.
-
As specialists in eCommerce (rather than generic web-security), their tooling and monitoring are purpose-built for shopping platforms and the risks unique to them (checkout skimming, payment forms, third-party extensions).
Who they help
Online merchants running eCommerce platforms (Magento/Adobe Commerce, WooCommerce, etc) who want to detect and respond to skimming, malware, and vulnerabilities that are specific to retail checkout flows.
Agencies or security teams working for eCommerce brands that need forensic capabilities, early warning monitoring, and custom alerts.
Organisations concerned with payment data security and compliance (for example, PCI-DSS) in the context of e-commerce.

Their communication skills and ability to complete the project within budget and timescale were impressive.
After the launch of the website, the client received feedback from customers concerning a better UX, and Chilliapple Ltd. was able to update easier than before. They communicated through Campfire and had weekly updates through Zoom meetings. Overall, the team provided a good value for the budget.

Good Knowledge of Magento: Chilliapple was recommended to us for their Magento knowledge which has proved to be excellent. We worked with Bowo and Vipin to migrate and upgrade our existing Magento shops to a new UK Fast server with additional features and plug ins installed resulting in a faster admin than we previously had. I would recommend Chilliapple for Magento especially multiple shops.

Great work with the team at Chilliapple. They undertook our website maintenance from a previous developer and they have managed to accommodate many of our initial needs, including an upgrade to Magento 2.4.
Since then, we have overcome many more requests to improve website and shopping functionality and while I personally will not be overseeing their work anymore, I trust though that Versapak are in safe hands and that they can meet any new challenge that may arise.

I've worked with many web agencies in the past and ChilliApple certainly shine above the rest. Our account manager Bowo has been extremely attentive and pro-active, without whom we would not have been able to deploy our Magento 2 migration by the end of 2020.
We're very pleased at the hard work and patience that Bowo and the development team have put into this project, especially as we were working long hours towards the end. I look forward to continued work with ChilliApple in 2021!

Our website is built in Prestashop, and finding credible developers to maintain and progress the site was very difficult once we had made the decision to move on from our current developer.
Chilli Apple initially upgraded and re-themed our site to a very high standard with excellent communication throughout. We went live with the update (which was quite a major undertaking as it had not been done for some time and a lot had changed) right at the beginning of the COVID fiasco. [+]
