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.
