Company Overview

NovaCart Solutions is a growing online store specializing in electronics and smart home accessories, operating across European markets. The company handles thousands of transactions each month, collecting sensitive customer and payment data. As the business scaled, challenges emerged related to data protection, operational continuity, and the risk of cyberattacks. NovaCart decided to strengthen its IT security to protect customers and build trust.

Identified Problem

NovaCart Solutions was rapidly expanding its e-commerce platform but neglected network segmentation. All systems—from the online store and CRM backend to customer data—operated within a single, unsegregated network environment. As a result, a potential breach in one component (e.g., through a vulnerability in a store plugin) could grant access to the entire infrastructure. The lack of separation between production, testing, and administrative environments posed a serious risk of data breaches and business continuity loss.

Implemented Solution

We conducted a comprehensive audit of NovaCart Solutions’ infrastructure, identifying critical risk points and gaps in network segmentation. We implemented environment separation into security zones—production, testing, and administrative—using next-generation firewalls (NGFW) and VLAN mechanisms. An identity and access management (IAM) system was integrated, and role-based access control (RBAC) was deployed. Additionally, we implemented real-time security monitoring (SIEM) and incident response procedures (IRP). Customer data was encrypted both at rest and in transit.

Results

NovaCart Solutions gained resilience against lateral attacks and the ability to quickly detect threats. Environment segmentation significantly reduced the attack surface, while implemented encryption and access control mechanisms enhanced the security of customer data. The company improved compliance with GDPR and PCI DSS requirements, strengthening trust among partners and users. Thanks to incident monitoring and clear response procedures, the e-commerce platform achieved greater operational continuity.
