How secure is TYPO3 and how are security updates/LTS versions handled?
TYPO3 Security
TYPO3 is one of the most secure open-source content management systems. A dedicated security team, established responsible disclosure processes and regular updates ensure reliable protection.
A key advantage: many enterprise features are already integrated into the core, reducing dependence on third-party plugins – and thus also the attack surface. The system comes with robust security mechanisms: CSRF protection, consistent output escaping against XSS attacks, trusted host configuration and configurable security headers. From TYPO3 version 11 onwards, multi-factor authentication (MFA/2FA) is available in the backend.
The granular role and rights system enables precise access control, while Composer-based dependency management keeps all dependencies transparent and auditable.
LTS versions and long-term planning
TYPO3 offers several years of official support with its Long-Term Support (LTS) versions. TYPO3 GmbH's Extended Long Term Support (ELTS) can extend maintenance further if required. Security and patch releases are backward compatible, the roadmap is transparent, and upgrades between LTS versions are well documented – this creates planning security.
Our security services
We proactively monitor security advisories and prioritise critical patches. Every update goes through a structured staging process with testing, backup and rollback options. We harden your systems according to best practices: minimal permissions, MFA activation, security headers, logging and optional WAF/CDN integration, as well as regular security audits.
Your benefits
A stable, auditable CMS setup with predictable costs – from secure basic installation to long-term LTS operation.
Is TYPO3 suitable for multilingual websites and multi-domain setups?
Absolutely – the TYPO3 system is designed for true multilingualism and multi-domain scenarios. Brands, countries or business units can be centrally controlled and locally customised on a single platform. Rights and workflows are finely granulated so that teams only see and edit what is relevant to them.
Multilingualism as included in the core:
- Translation management with status indicators
- Fallback languages
- language-specific URLs and slugs
- Correct hreflang tagging
- separate sitemaps
This gives editors reliable previews for each language, and the content can be reused or localised. Translations can also be exported/imported via XLIFF or connected to TMS/translation services via connectors.
For multi-domain setups, Site Handling offers separate domain and language configurations, routing, consent and tracking settings for each site – with shared assets and extensions – if desired. Integrated caching and optional CDN/WAF connectivity ensure performance and stability, even with high traffic.
The result:
A scalable, future-proof basis for international corporate enterprise websites and portals – centrally managed, efficient in operation and user-friendly in editing.
Can TYPO3 be used headless, and how well does it connect to third-party systems/APIs?
Yes. TYPO3 can be operated very well in headless mode and used as a central content hub. Content is maintained as usual in the TYPO3 backend, stored in a structured manner and can be reused multiple times – for example for:
- modern front ends (React, Vue, Next.js, Nuxt)
- Mobile Apps (iOS, Android)
- Progressive Web Apps (PWA)
- Portals, intranets or self-service platforms
The data is usually output via JSON or GraphQL interfaces. Clearly defined APIs and clean data models are used to connect third-party systems, such as CRM, marketing automation, e-commerce, PIM or search solutions.
Depending on requirements, we implement:
- Pure headless: TYPO3 only as a content API, the front end runs separately
- Hybrid models: classic server-side rendering where it makes sense, plus parallel API endpoints for special applications and integrations.
This allows editorial teams to work comfortably in the TYPO3 backend, while developers connect modern frontends and interfaces reliably via standardised APIs.
