Sansec joins Your.Online
Sansec, a Netherlands based cybersecurity company specialized in protecting self-hosted e-commerce platforms, is joining Your.Online. Founded in 2019 by Willem de Groot, Sansec has spent years building one of the most respected security layers in global e-commerce: a product trusted by online merchants across Europe and the United States. Their research operation has become a trusted source for the Magento and WooCommerce communities, providing early disclosure of real-world threats and helping prevent exploitation.
The partnership brings Sansec into Your.Online’s Performance segment, where it joins an ecosystem that operates close to the commercial heart of clients’ operations. E-commerce platforms, mission-critical applications, high-performance hosting environments: these are businesses where downtime has a price tag and where every layer of the stack carries responsibility. Security has always been part of that picture. With Sansec, it becomes an explicit and deeply specialized part of the Performance offer.
“Sansec is exactly what Your.Online’s Performance segment is about: a company that sits at the intersection of technical depth and commercial relevance for online merchants. The Performance ecosystem covers the full stack of what keeps e-commerce businesses running, from infrastructure and hosting to AI-enabled business-critical applications and the security layer that protects them.”

About Sansec
Sansec was built on a conviction that server-side security for e-commerce was being systematically underestimated. Most security tooling stops at the network perimeter. Sansec goes further, monitoring live store environments, tracking malware families as they evolve in the wild, and translating that intelligence into signatures that protect merchants before most have heard of an attack.
The company’s core product, eComscan, continuously scans and monitors self-hosted e-commerce environments across Magento and WooCommerce, detecting and flagging threats in real time. Alongside it, Sansec Shield provides active protection and reduces the frequency of patching requirements for Adobe Commerce and Magento operators. Together, they form a protection layer that has proven its value under pressure: when PolyShell, a critical unauthenticated vulnerability affecting all production versions of Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce, was disclosed in March 2026, Sansec-protected stores had been shielded before mass exploitation began.
That track record has built a reputation that extends well beyond the product itself. Sansec is a trusted voice in the e-commerce security community.
Security in the age of AI-accelerated threats
The threat environment facing online merchants has fundamentally changed. The time between vulnerability discovery and mass exploitation, once measured in weeks, has compressed to hours. AI lowers the cost and skill threshold for attackers, enabling more sophisticated and faster-moving campaigns against e-commerce platforms at a scale that was not conceivable a few years ago.
For merchants, that acceleration raises the stakes on every decision about how their platform is protected. Generic solutions built for yesterday’s threat landscape are no longer sufficient. What is needed is continuous, real-time intelligence built on deep specialization and a proprietary understanding of how attacks actually unfold on live e-commerce environments.
That is exactly what Sansec brings. While AI accelerates attacker workflows, Sansec deploys its AI capabilities and design to push its detection and response cycles further and faster. Its sensor network, spanning hundreds of thousands of sites, generates the kind of ground-level threat data that cannot be replicated from the outside. Its fully automated workflows, from triage through to signature development and customer protection, are built to operate at the speed the market demands.
“AI is the defining dynamic in e-commerce security right now, and it cuts both ways. It makes it possible for us to detect threats faster, correlate signals across a vast sensor network, and push protection to merchants before attacks reach scale. But it also means that the people trying to compromise online stores have better tools, lower costs, and shorter learning curves than ever before. The race is real and winning it requires exactly the kind of long-term commitment and investment capacity that Your.Online brings.”

Growing the platform and keeping the pace
Your.Online’s role in this partnership is to create the conditions for Sansec to do more of what it does best. That means commercial capacity, through the arrival of a Chief Commercial Officer, who brings the go-to-market structure needed to extend Sansec’s reach through partner-driven distribution and direct sales, and by opening up the Your.Online network. It means access to the long-term capital and peer network of an online services group that has seen what focused, founder-led digital businesses can achieve when they join a group of like-minded entrepreneurs.
Sansec’s independence is preserved by design. Its brand, its culture, its community relationships, and its technical direction remain its own. What the partnership adds is the ability to grow without compromise: to invest in the platform, expand its reach, and keep setting the pace in a market where standing still is not an option.
