cside partners with Chargebacks 911 to counter chargeback fraud

Client-side Intelligence for Payment Providers

Client-side attacks target your merchant partners directly. These threats bypass traditional app security and put your payment ecosystem at risk. Protect your network with PCI Shield.

Your Infrastructure is Secure, the Browser is a Risk

Merchant websites load dozens of third-party scripts. One compromised script enables malicious code to steal customer data.

Traditional security tools protect servers and ignore the browser. CSPs, Crawlers, and JS agents are easy to evade with modern attacks.

Global standards like PCI DSS and GDPR hold companies liable for risks introduced by 3rd party scripts.

With cside:
Monitor & control every script that loads in end-customer browsers
Protect customers from e-skimming, PII leaks, and other client-side attacks
Comply with PCI DSS, GDPR, and other compliance standards
Detect chargeback fraud & enumeration attacks with browser level intelligence
How cside Protects Payment Providers

Your customers are high value targets for attackers. We help you protect them from e-skimming on the checkout flows.

How cside helps Payment Providers

Client-Side Intelligence

Our hybrid proxy monitors the activity of every script on merchant payment pages, preventing attacks from spreading across your merchant network.

Automated PCI DSS Compliance

PCI 6.4.3 & 11.6.1 requirements with script inventory, change detection, justifications, and audit-ready reports.

Privacy Monitoring

Identify what personal data each third-party script has access to and where it's sent. Stay compliant with GDPR and prevent PII leaks.

Chargeback Dispute Evidence

Reduce friendly fraud (chargebacks) with device fingerprinting as dispute evidence. Improve VAMP ratios for merchants & acquirers.

Why Attackers Target Your Merchants:

Payment pages handle credit card data

High-value customer data (addresses, phone numbers, and purchase history)

One successful script exploit can be repeated across different merchants

Modern web apps load more code in the browser, widening the attack surface.

Don't Wait for a Data Breach or Audit Failure

"cside tells me everything I need to know about a script, and makes sure they are safe to show to the user. It's really made me realize how big of a problem 3rd party script security is, and there are no other solutions I've tried that dive as deep as cside."

Our experts can conduct a client-side vulnerability assessment and provide a customized recommendation.

Common Client-Side Attacks on Merchants

01

Magecart & E-Skimming

Code hidden in checkouts or forms silently capture card numbers, CVVs, and addresses

02

Expired Domains

Attackers purchase expired domains of scripts on your site to change code from an approved source

03

Software Supply Chain

A breach in one of your trusted providers (analytics or integrations) can infect your entire site.

04

Targeted Customers

Advanced threats target sessions with specific criteria (e.g. IP address) to evade traditional detection.

05

PII Leaks

Unmonitored scripts exfiltrate sensitive personal information such as addresses and IDs.

06

Ad Injections

Injected ads or pop-ups inside the browser trick traders into clicking fraudulent links
