Complete Data Privacy and Compliance with TYPO3
Powered by an active community and an out-of-the-box compliance setup, TYPO3 is any organization's partner in data privacy.
TYPO3 for Data Privacy & GDPR
Protect personal data and build privacy-first websites with TYPO3. Its open source architecture provides built-in security and data protection features, while giving organizations control over how and where their CMS and data are hosted. An active community and regular security updates help TYPO3 stay resilient as digital requirements evolve.
Key Features
TYPO3 keeps your data protected and your website compliant with the latest regulations.
Privacy is built into TYPO3's architecture. Features such as configurable SameSite cookies, strict access controls, and data minimization help reduce privacy and security risks from the start. Organizations can configure how data is collected, processed, stored, and shared to support their data protection requirements.
TYPO3 is an officially authorized CVE Numbering Authority (CNA). The TYPO3 Security Team can assign standardized CVE identifiers to vulnerabilities in TYPO3 CMS and its ecosystem and publish verified security information through the global CVE system.
This provides a consistent, authoritative reference for identifying and tracking TYPO3 security vulnerabilities—helping users and security teams respond with greater clarity and confidence.
TYPO3 Core includes built-in multi-factor authentication (MFA) for backend users. MFA adds an additional verification step beyond a password, helping protect user accounts even if login credentials are compromised.
Administrators can configure MFA requirements for different user groups and use supported authentication providers such as TOTP.
Choose where your TYPO3 installation and data are hosted. TYPO3 can run on your own infrastructure, on-premise servers, or with an independent hosting provider or cloud service. This gives organizations greater control over their infrastructure, data location, and digital sovereignty—without being tied to a proprietary CMS hosting platform.
TYPO3's proactive approach to data privacy ensures maximum protection as a default setting. Editors and administrators benefit from SameSite cookies that minimize the risk of data leakage, and TYPO3's secure data management practices ensure that data is processed only when necessary. These built-in features ensure high-levels of compliance without the need for extensive manual adjustments.
Your data is always accessible. As a member of the Open Website Initiative, and a registered Digital Public Good, TYPO3 adheres to the most stringent policies of data sovereignty. This means no restricted access or sharing of data with third parties. TYPO3's community-driven security updates, and its built-in features like robust access controls and multi-factor authentication, ensure maximum protection.

A CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) is officially authorized to assign CVE IDs — standardized vulnerability tracking numbers — and publish the corresponding records. For TYPO3 users, this means vulnerability information comes from one authoritative source rather than being pieced together from third parties or community forums.
MFA has been built into TYPO3 core since version 11 and can be configured directly for backend user accounts without a third-party extension — see the Core API documentation for setup.
Open source doesn't mean less secure — TYPO3's status as an official CVE Numbering Authority means vulnerabilities are disclosed transparently and centrally rather than hidden or handled inconsistently, and the codebase is auditable by anyone, unlike a closed proprietary system where you have to trust the vendor's internal security claims.
TYPO3 can be self-hosted on-premise or hosted with a cloud provider of your choice, including within the EU — giving organizations direct control over data residency, unlike many SaaS CMS platforms that route data through infrastructure outside the EU by default.
No. Hosting on-premise gives you direct control over where and how data is processed, which supports GDPR compliance, but your organization remains the data controller either way. On-premise hosting is a sovereignty and control decision, not a substitute for GDPR-compliant processes.
No. TYPO3 provides the technical tooling (cookie management, opt-in/out controls, secure data handling, configurable password policies, Content Security Policy reporting), but GDPR compliance also depends on your organization's data processing agreements, consent workflows, and legal review. The CMS is a necessary foundation, not a complete compliance solution on its own.
