Ecommerce security isn’t military security.
And it isn’t airport security.
You can’t post soldiers around a store and call it “perfectly safe.”
You can’t screen every shopper at the door like they’re boarding a plane and promise “absolute safety.”
Commerce has a job to do: move fast. Stay convenient. Keep friction low.
So ecommerce security isn’t about locking everything down.
It’s about keeping things in order—over time.
That’s why baseline-driven security fits:
- Start with a baseline: the known-good state.
- Be aware of drift: small changes add up.
- Watch signals: early signs that order is breaking.
- Restore order by getting the rules and controls back in place.
Security isn’t “strength.”
It’s stability.
