Sansec

Sansec is a cybersecurity company based in Utrecht, The Netherlands, specializing in security for eCommerce platforms. The company focuses on protecting online merchants from threats specific to eCommerce environments, particularly Magento, Adobe Commerce, Shopware, and WooCommerce platforms. The company offers two primary products: eComscan and Sansec Shield. eComscan is a security scanner that performs deep malware detection on eCommerce platforms, examining both front-end and server-side code to identify compromised files, malicious scripts, and vulnerabilities. The scanner is designed to detect eCommerce-specific threats including payment card skimmers, phishing campaigns, and other malware targeting online stores. Sansec Shield provides proactive protection against known attacks on eCommerce platforms, allowing merchants to block exploitation attempts without immediately applying patches. This approach helps reduce downtime and instability that can result from emergency patching. The company maintains a forensics team that conducts threat research on eCommerce attacks, particularly focusing on Magecart attacks and payment skimming operations. Their research covers emerging attack vectors such as newsletter system exploitation, keyloggers, and supply chain vulnerabilities in eCommerce extensions and packages. Sansec maintains a malware library and publishes regular threat intelligence on eCommerce security issues. The company has been operating for over seven years and works with hosting partners and eCommerce agencies to deliver security services to online merchants.
