Security you can build on
At OpenDXP, the security of your data, content and business processes is our top priority. Our security strategy is based on proven standards, regular updates and modern practices that are continuously developed. We place particular emphasis on supporting the latest versions of PHP and Symfony so that you can always rely on a stable and protected platform.

Our security strategy
At OpenDXP, we do not see security as an additional function, but as an integral part of the entire development process. We work continuously to provide a stable and protected platform by implementing up-to-date security guidelines and incorporating modern technologies. In this way, we ensure that your data, content and processes are protected in the best possible way.
Central security factors:
- Regular updates
Security-related updates and patches are applied promptly to minimize potential vulnerabilities. - Secure architecture
Our architecture follows established best practices, reducing attack surfaces while ensuring high scalability. - Responsible handling of security vulnerabilities
Through responsible disclosure and rapid response, we resolve issues reliably and efficiently.
Security through PHP and Symfony
The combination of PHP and Symfony forms the core of OpenDXP. Both technologies come with strong security mechanisms that we use specifically to make the platform as secure as possible. This means you benefit from a proven basis that is continuously maintained and supports the highest security standards.
We rely on the latest PHP versions to integrate security-relevant improvements and functions directly into OpenDXP. PHP 8.4 is already fully supported.
How to benefit from PHP 8.4:
- Performance and stability
Security vulnerabilities are closed and the overall stability of the platform is improved. - Improved security functions
Modern features such as the JIT compiler increase performance and reduce potential risks in the code.
- Performance and stability
Symfony is one of the most secure frameworks for web applications. We use Symfony 7.x and integrate the latest LTS version 7.4 to ensure long-term security. Symfony offers security features that help to detect and avoid vulnerabilities at an early stage.
How to benefit from Symfony:
- Integrated security features
CSRF protection, authentication, authorization and data validation ensure that potential security vulnerabilities are detected and closed in good time. - Regular updates
Security patches appear continuously and are applied promptly by us. - Long-term support
LTS versions such as Symfony 7.4 guarantee stability and security for many years to come.
- Integrated security features
Security throughout the entire development process
In addition to the security functions of PHP and Symfony, we at OpenDXP pursue a holistic strategy that covers the entire life cycle of the software. Security accompanies every step - from planning to coding and testing to operation. Below you will find the most important of our security measures:
- Code reviews and security checks
All changes to the code are regularly checked before they go into production. - Security patches
Necessary updates for PHP, Symfony and OpenDXP are applied immediately to minimize risks. - Strong encryption
Data is encrypted according to the latest standards to ensure the protection of sensitive information
