Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during the security review?
We walk through your Shopify store together and review which apps have access to your data. You’ll get a clear understanding of what each app can access and where there may be unnecessary or excessive permissions.
Will you make any changes to my store?
No. This is a read-only review. We do not make any changes without your approval.
How long does the review take?
The guided session takes about 20 minutes. After the review, you’ll receive a clear summary of any risks and recommended next steps.
Do I need to install anything?
No installation is required. We simply review your existing app setup together.
What kind of risks do you typically find?
Most commonly, we find apps with broader access than necessary, unused apps that still retain permissions, and overlapping tools that create unnecessary exposure.
Is this only for Shopify Plus stores?
No. This applies to any Shopify store using third-party apps.
What happens after the review?
After the review, we’ll provide a clear risk summary and, if needed, recommend next steps or ongoing monitoring options.
Why is this important?
Many stores don’t realize how much access third-party apps retain over time. Without regular review, this can lead to unnecessary data exposure and potential security risks.
