Description for MITS Security Center – Checksum Scanner, File Permission Check & Malware Scanner for modified eCommerce shop software
With MITS Security Center, you can keep important security areas of your modified eCommerce shop software in view. The module combines checksum monitoring, file permission checks, malware and webshell detection, and checks of important PHP and server settings in a central interface.
For an online shop installation in particular, it is important to detect file changes early and be able to trace suspicious activity. MITS Security Center helps you check your modified eCommerce shop software regularly and identify potential security problems faster.
Checksums, file permissions, suspicious files and important server values are brought together clearly. You no longer have to check several tools individually.
Detect changes to shop files
The module can create a trusted reference of your shop files and compare it with the current set of files during subsequent checks. This makes it possible to identify new, modified or missing files.
SHA-256 checksums are used for verification. Detected differences are stored as events and can then be reviewed in the administration area.
Check file permissions
Incorrect file and directory permissions can cause both security problems and malfunctions. MITS Security Center therefore checks the permissions of important files and directories and clearly displays any differences.
Detected permission problems can be corrected directly through the module if required. Exceptions and custom expected permissions can also be defined for special server configurations.
Detect malware and webshells
The integrated malware scanner examines relevant shop files for typical signs of malicious code, webshells, obfuscated code and suspicious execution chains.
It does not simply classify every individual PHP command as a threat. Various indicators are assessed together to keep unnecessary false alarms to a minimum.
Suspicious findings can be examined more closely in the administration area. If a finding is classified as a false alarm, it can be ignored for the current file contents. If the file subsequently changes, a new detection is reported again.
Detect changes to important shop files faster.
Find insecure or incorrect file and directory permissions.
Detect suspicious PHP files, webshells and unusual code.
Check the PHP and server environment
In addition to shop files, MITS Security Center checks important values in the PHP and server environment. This provides information on settings that may be relevant to stable and secure operation of modified eCommerce shop software.
Factors considered include the PHP version in use, important PHP settings, required extensions, available storage space and compatibility between modified eCommerce shop software and PHP.
Changes to the system environment can also be detected. This is useful, for example, when a hosting provider has changed the PHP version or server configuration.
Event and scan history
Detected anomalies do not simply disappear after the next page view. The module maintains a clear event and scan history so you can trace when a check was performed and which problems it identified.
Extensive lists can be filtered and sorted. Different file and event types are presented clearly.
Suitable for larger installations too
Depending on the size of a shop installation, security checks may involve many files. MITS Security Center therefore processes extensive scans incrementally in the background of the administration interface.
Progress is displayed during the scan. This allows larger collections of files to be checked without a single request having to process the entire modified eCommerce shop software in one step.
Regular checks
MITS Security Center also supports the scheduled tasks in modified eCommerce shop software. Security checks can therefore run regularly without having to start every scan manually.

Greater security for modified eCommerce shop software
MITS Security Center is intended for shop operators, agencies and administrators who want to check the condition of a modified eCommerce shop installation regularly.
It does not replace professional server hardening or an experienced administrator, but provides a valuable additional monitoring option directly within the shop software. Unusual file changes, problematic permissions, suspicious code or unsuitable server settings can therefore become visible much sooner.
MITS Security Center
Checksum scanning, file permission checks, malware and webshell detection, and PHP and server checks for modified eCommerce shop software, brought together clearly in one system module.
What does MITS Security Center check?
MITS Security Center combines several security checks in one module. These include monitoring shop files using SHA-256 checksums, checking file and directory permissions, detecting suspicious files and checking important PHP and server settings.
Does the module replace an antivirus scanner or server firewall?
No. MITS Security Center is an additional security and monitoring solution within modified eCommerce Shopsoftware. It does not replace professional server security, a firewall or management by an experienced administrator.
However, the module helps reveal unusual file changes, problematic permissions, suspicious content and unsuitable system settings more quickly.
What happens if a file has been changed?
If a file is changed, newly added or removed compared with the previously created reference baseline, MITS Security Center can detect this difference and display it as an event.
This allows you to check specifically whether the change was intentional or whether further action is needed.
Can the module detect malware or web shells?
Yes. The integrated malware and web shell scanner examines relevant files for typical characteristics of malicious code, obfuscated PHP content and suspicious execution patterns.
A finding does not automatically mean that a file is malicious. Detected findings can therefore be examined more closely in the administration area and treated as false positives if necessary.
Can I ignore false positives?
Yes. If a finding is classified as harmless after manual review, it can be specifically ignored.
The ignore setting is tied to the current file contents. If the file changes later, a new finding can be reported again. This ensures that actual subsequent changes remain visible.
Can the module correct incorrect file permissions?
Yes. MITS Security Center can detect incorrect or unwanted file and directory permissions and correct them if required.
Exceptions and custom target permissions can also be defined for special server configurations.
Is the module suitable for larger installations too?
Yes. Extensive checks are processed incrementally, so not all files have to be handled in a single request.
This also makes MITS Security Center suitable for larger modified eCommerce Shopsoftware installations containing many files.
Can security checks run automatically?
Yes. MITS Security Center supports scheduled tasks in modified eCommerce Shopsoftware.
This allows certain security checks to run regularly without having to start each scan manually.
Are existing shop files changed during installation?
MITS Security Center is built as a system module for modified eCommerce Shopsoftware and extends the existing installation with its own functions and management areas.
Nevertheless, we always recommend a complete backup of the shop files and database before every installation or update.
Can the module guarantee that the shop is free of malware?
No. No automatic scanner can fully guarantee that a system is free of malware or has not already been attacked.
However, MITS Security Center provides several useful monitoring mechanisms that help detect suspicious changes and known anomalies more quickly so they can then be investigated specifically.
