Retail & E-commerce

A web shop that processes card payments must comply with PCI-DSS, the payment card industry security standard. The GDPR applies to customer data, including the duty to report data breaches. Providers of online marketplaces may also fall under NIS2 Annex II, implemented in the Netherlands as the Cyberbeveiligingswet (Cbw). Organisations need to check for themselves whether the Cbw applies to them.

An e-commerce company mainly needs application security engineers with PCI-DSS knowledge who protect web shops against skimming and other attacks. DPOs and privacy consultants are needed for the GDPR, cloud security architects for scalable platforms and SOC analysts and fraud prevention specialists for detection. Together they cover payment fraud, data breaches and DDoS attacks during peak periods.

MVPeople Group responds to every request within 4 hours and, for interim assignments, often presents a first profile within 4 hours, with introduction CVs within 24 hours. Candidates come from a network of more than 7,000 pre-screened cybersecurity professionals, including application security engineers and privacy consultants. That helps retailers add capacity in time for a peak period such as Black Friday.

Interim fits temporary needs, such as a PCI-DSS project, a migration to a new e-commerce platform or extra capacity around peak periods. Permanent hiring fits roles that carry platform and customer data security every day, such as application security and privacy. Secondment through MVProfessionals is a middle option for longer projects. Permanent hiring through MVPermanent typically takes 2 to 4 weeks.
