Venditan, a leading UK provider of eCommerce and retail technology solutions, has announced a further £200,000 investment into its cyber security division, as it continues to expand its capabilities in protecting retailers from increasingly sophisticated digital threats.
The investment is accompanied by the appointment of two new team members, supporting both the growth of Venditan’s cyber security offering and the continued commercial expansion of its flagship platform, Venditan Commerce.
Ahmed Patel joins Venditan from Citation Cyber to lead the go to market strategy for Checkout Audit, the company’s specialist cyber security solution built for ecommerce retailers. His appointment comes at a time when threats to online payment environments are becoming more frequent, complex, and damaging.
Checkout Audit provides continuous monitoring of ecommerce checkout environments, helping retailers detect malicious activity, unauthorised changes, and emerging vulnerabilities that could compromise customer data or disrupt revenue. Its enhanced offering, Checkout Audit Plus, extends this protection through vulnerability scanning, threat intelligence, and employee awareness tools, giving retailers broader visibility across their entire ecommerce ecosystem .
With many cyber threats now originating beyond the checkout itself, including phishing attacks, infrastructure weaknesses, and evolving external risks, Venditan’s continued investment ensures retailers are better equipped to identify and respond to issues before they escalate.
Alongside Ahmed, Jabar Bika joins to support the commercial growth of Venditan Commerce, working across new business development initiatives and market engagement as the company accelerates adoption of its platform.
Venditan Commerce continues to evolve, with a roadmap that includes major upgrades to its in store POS and payments solution, alongside AI driven enhancements across customer insight, stock optimisation, returns analysis, and revenue retention.
John Coyne, Managing Director of Venditan, commented:
“Retailers are facing an increasingly complex threat landscape, particularly around payment security and ecommerce infrastructure. This investment reflects our commitment to staying ahead of those threats and giving our customers the tools and visibility they need to protect both their revenue and their reputation.
At the same time, we continue to invest in Venditan Commerce, ensuring retailers can operate smarter, more efficiently, and with greater insight across every channel.”
Venditan has been delivering ecommerce and retail technology to UK and Irish retailers for over two decades, and this latest investment is focused on helping retailers safeguard revenue, reduce risk, and stay in control of their ecommerce operations.
