# TYPO3 Security & Stability | Building Trust Since 1998

 Why TYPO3?
------------

  Security by Design
----------------------

Cyber incidents are the [most feared business risk worldwide](https://commercial.allianz.com/news-and-insights/reports/allianz-risk-barometer.html), ahead of operational disruptions and natural disasters. TYPO3 helps you stay out of those statistics. Security is built into the TYPO3 CMS architecture from the start, following secure-by-default principles that help organizations pass audits and avoid vulnerabilities.

 Enterprise-Level Security
---------------------------

###  Managed, Verified, and Communicated Responsibly

Recognized for its strong security governance, TYPO3 is a trusted choice for organizations with high security demands.

  Professional Security Team
------------------------------

Monitors, reviews, and coordinates fixes across the TYPO3 ecosystem.

  Security by Default
-----------------------

Encrypted passwords, MFA, IP and role-based access, files stored outside the web root.

  CVE Numbering Authority (CNA)
---------------------------------

Officially authorized to assign global CVE identifiers — verified, transparent, trusted.

 Data Protection: Your Data, Your Control
------------------------------------------

###  Privacy built into TYPO3

TYPO3 empowers organizations to comply with the world’s strictest data protection standards — including the GDPR — without sacrificing usability, performance, or security. Data stays where it belongs: under your control.

- **Built for Compliance:** TYPO3’s architecture supports GDPR principles such as data minimization, purpose limitation, and user consent management.
- **Configurable Data Retention:** Control how long personal data is stored and automatically remove it when it’s no longer needed.
- **User Rights Made Simple:** Easily manage data export, correction, or deletion requests.
- **Privacy-Respecting Integrations:** TYPO3 lets you connect [third-party tools](https://typo3.com/typo3-cms/why-typo3/flexibility-scalability#c8948) responsibly, keeping user data within secure and transparent boundaries.
- **Only Capture What You Need:** With the Forms extension, you decide what information to collect and where it’s stored.
