How we keep Umbraco secure

In today’s world, a continuous focus on security is essential. No doubt. That’s why following best practice and performing regular testing is all part of our security operations, ensuring that you can use our products and services with peace of mind. 

Security and Open Source

The Umbraco CMS is Open Source which means that the core code is open and accessible to everyone. This, however, does not mean that everyone is able to alter the code. We, Umbraco HQ, ensures that the core of the CMS, Umbraco Cloud, Forms and Courier, stays as bullet-proof as possible - and if a vulnerability is discovered, we make sure to fix the vulnerability automatically (Umbraco Cloud) and provide information about manual fixes in a timely and secure manner.

3rd party penetration tests

Apart from doing regular internal testing, we have an external security company doing thorough penetration testing of Umbraco CMS and Umbraco Cloud to detect possible vulnerabilities.

These penetration tests are done twice a year.

The results of the tests are not published online, but we share the confirmation letter as proof.
