Security patch application
Adobe security patches applied and tested, including the isolated ones released between quarterly releases.
Magento Security
Magento Security Services
Magento is a large application handling card payments on a public URL, and it is targeted accordingly. We apply the security patches, review the configuration around them, and clean up when something has already got in.

Overview
What we do, and why it matters
Adobe ships security patches for Magento and Adobe Commerce on a schedule, and the interval between a patch being published and the first exploit attempt against unpatched stores is short — the vulnerability details are public the moment the fix is. Stores get compromised because nobody applied the patch, not because the patch did not exist.
Applying it is usually an afternoon on a store that is current. The reason it turns into a month is everything around it: no staging environment, custom code nobody wants to touch, and no clear answer to who is responsible. Most of what we do here is making that afternoon possible.
Services
What's included
Configuration review
Admin URL and access, two-factor enforcement, session and cookie settings, file permissions, and the security headers your store should be sending and probably is not.
Vulnerability remediation
Fixing what a scan, a penetration test, or your payment processor found, including the findings in custom code that no patch covers.
Hardening
Reducing what is reachable in the first place — admin exposure, unused endpoints, developer tooling left enabled, and the debug output that tells an attacker your exact version.
Compromise cleanup
Skimmer and Magecart removal: finding the injected code, working out how it got in, closing that, and checking it is not still there somewhere else.
Extension risk review
Third-party modules with known vulnerabilities or abandoned by their vendors, which is where a large share of real Magento compromises start.
Ongoing patch monitoring
Watching for the patches that apply to your version so the first you hear of one is not a customer complaining about their card.
Why Emyrix
What you get working with us
Patched on a schedule, not on an incident
Under a support retainer, security patches get applied as they come out. That is the whole job, and it is the one thing that separates the stores this happens to from the ones it does not.
Straight answers about severity
Not every CVE in a bulletin applies to your store, and inflating one to sell work is a fast way to be ignored the time it matters. We will tell you which ones actually reach you.
Cleanup that includes the way in
Removing injected code without finding the entry point means doing it again in three weeks. The disclosure and the payment-processor conversation are usually the harder part, and we will help with those too.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How quickly should a Magento security patch be applied?
Quickly, because the vulnerability becomes public knowledge at the same moment the fix does. For an isolated patch on a store that is current and has a staging environment, this is an afternoon. If it is taking weeks, the problem is the process around the patch, not the patch.
How do I know if my store has already been compromised?
Often you do not, which is the point of a skimmer — it takes card details and leaves the store working perfectly. The signs are usually indirect: your payment processor flags fraud, a customer reports a charge they did not make, or a file changed that nobody deployed. We can look at what is visible from outside as part of a health check.
Do you do penetration testing?
We are not a penetration testing firm, and you should be slightly suspicious of anyone who offers to both test and fix. What we do is remediate what a test found, and review the configuration and code from the perspective of somebody who knows how Magento is built.
Is Magento less secure than a hosted platform?
It is differently secure. A hosted platform patches itself and gives you less control; self-hosted Magento gives you the control and the responsibility together. Neither is safer in the abstract — the difference is whether somebody is actually doing the work.
What about extensions with known vulnerabilities?
They are one of the more common ways in, particularly the ones whose vendor has stopped publishing updates. Part of a security review is an inventory of what is installed, what it is for, and what is still maintained. Removing a module you no longer use is the cheapest security work there is.
Can you monitor our store for changes?
We can set up file integrity and malware monitoring, and there are third-party services built specifically for Magento that do it well. We have no commercial relationship with any of them and will say which we would use and why.
