How to choose a PrestaShop security module
Identify your biggest risk first
Most stores do not need every tool at once. Start with the threat that actually affects you: code integrity (malware scanning), abuse and spam (bot protection), unwanted traffic (IP blocking), or compliance exposure (GDPR consent).
Confirm PrestaShop version compatibility
Check that the module supports your exact PrestaShop version (1.7, 8, or 9). Every HiPresta module lists supported versions on its product page.
Prefer layered, not overlapping, tools
Security works best in layers: detection (scanning), prevention (CAPTCHA, IP blocking, verification), and compliance (consent). Pick one tool per layer rather than several that do the same job.
Check maintenance and support
A security module is only useful if it keeps up with new threats and PrestaShop releases. HiPresta modules are actively maintained and supported through PrestaShop Addons.
