How to install and activate the Security Suite module on your PrestaShop store.

Requirements
- PrestaShop 1.7, 8, or 9

exec()orshell_exec()not required — the module runs entirely in PHP
Step 1: Download the Module
Purchase and download the module ZIP file from the PrestaShop Addons Marketplace.
Step 2: Upload to PrestaShop
- Go to Modules > Module Manager in your PrestaShop back office
- Click Upload a module in the top-right corner
- Drag and drop the ZIP file or click to browse
- Wait for the upload and installation to complete
Step 3: Configure
After installation, the module will appear under Modules > Module Manager. Click Configure to open the Security Suite dashboard.
On first launch you'll see the main dashboard with tabs for:
- Scanner — Run malware scans
- Threats — Review detected threats
- Snapshots — File integrity monitoring
- Quarantine — Manage quarantined files
- Recent Files — Browse recently modified files
- Security Audit — Run automated security checks
- Admin Protection — Configure admin folder protection
- Settings — General configuration and cron setup
Step 4: Run Your First Scan
We recommend running a Full Scan immediately after installation to establish a baseline. See Your First Scan for a walkthrough.
Upgrading
To upgrade the module:
- Download the latest version from PrestaShop Addons
- Go to Modules > Module Manager
- Upload the new ZIP — PrestaShop will detect the existing module and upgrade it
- Your settings, snapshots, quarantine, and whitelist are preserved during upgrades
