Security at Sellers.lk
Last updated: 2026-10-06
We take the security of our customers and their business data seriously. This page summarises how we protect the platform and how to report a vulnerability to us.
1. Our security practices
- HTTPS / TLS encryption: all traffic between you and the platform is encrypted in transit.
- Secure authentication: email-verified accounts, hashed passwords, optional two-factor authentication, rate limiting, bot protection and lockouts against guessing.
- Security headers: an enforced Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, clickjacking protection and related browser hardening headers.
- Secure cloud infrastructure: managed, encrypted-at-rest database and file storage with row-level security and least-privilege access.
- Hosted card checkout: card details are entered with our payment provider and never reach the store or our servers.
- Vulnerability scanning and dependency monitoring: automated code scanning and dependency update monitoring run on our API, and we audit dependencies for known issues.
- Webhook and API protection: every request is validated, every store route checks the caller’s permission in that store, and payment and courier callbacks are verified.
- OWASP practices: we build and review against OWASP guidance.
2. Security standards
- OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) 4.0.3
- OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023)
- TLS best practices
We design, build and regularly review the platform against these standards, including authentication, sessions, access control, input validation, cryptography, logging and API security.
3. What we test
- Application and API review: reviewed against OWASP ASVS and the OWASP API Security Top 10, covering authentication, access control, validation, cryptography, logging and API security.
- Mozilla HTTP Observatory: A+ (110/100, 12 of 12 tests passed).
- Security Headers (Snyk): A+, with Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy all in place.
- Qualys SSL Labs SSL Server Test: A or better on every server, with TLS 1.3 supported.
